Answer

See the detailed answer below.

Work Step by Step

$$\color{blue}{\bf [a]}$$ A dipole of charges $\pm 2\;\rm nC$ exerted an electric field of 1150 N/C at a distance of 2.5 cm on a plane that bisects the dipole. Find its length. $$\color{blue}{\bf [b]}$$ Solving the given formula for $s$, $$s=\dfrac{(1150)(0.025)^3}{(2\times 10^{-9})(9\times 10^9)}\approx \color{red}{\bf 1}\;\rm mm$$
