Charge is uniformly distributed around a ring of radius R=2.40cm, and the resulting electric field magnitude Eis measured along the ring鈥檚 central axis (perpendicular to the plane of the ring). At what distance from the ring鈥檚 center is Emaximum?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The distance from the ring鈥檚 center at which the electric field has maximum value is 1.70 cm.

Step by step solution

01

The given data

  • Radius of the circular ring, R=2.40 cm.
  • The electric field is perpendicular to the surface of the ring, that is, along the central axis.
02

Understanding the concept of electric field 

Using the concept of the electric field due to the ring, we can get the value of the distance at which the electric field is found to be maximum by differentiating the given equation of the electric field.

Formula:

Electric field due to ring, E=14蟺蔚0qzz2+R232 (i)

Where R = radius of the ring.

z = distance of the field point on the axis of the ring.

03

Calculation of the position of the maximum magnitude

The electric in this case can be given using equation (i). Again, we can find the position of the maximum electric field by differentiating equation (i) for z and setting the result equal to zero as follows:

ddx14蟺蔚0qzz2+R232=0q4蟺蔚R2-2z2z2+R252=0z=R/2=2.40cm/2=1.70cm

Hence, the value of the required position of maximum magnitude is 1.70 cm
