In Fig. 22-55, positive chargeq=7.81pCis spread uniformly along a thin non-conducting rod of lengthL=14.5cm. What are the (a) magnitude and (b) direction (relative to the positive direction of the xaxis) of the electric field produced at point P, at distanceR=6.00cmfrom the rod along its perpendicular bisector?

Short Answer

Expert verified
  1. The magnitude of the electric field produced at point P, along its perpendicular bisector is 12.4鈥塏/颁.
  2. The direction of the electric field produced at point P, along its perpendicular bisector is in the +y-direction, or+90ocounter-clockwise from the +x-axis.

Step by step solution

01

The given data

  • Positive chargeq=7.81鈥塸颁 is spread uniformly along a thin non-conducting rod of length,L=14.5cm.
  • The distance of the point from the rod,R=6.00cm .

Understanding the concept of electric field 

Using the concept of the electric field for a small charge distributed over a line, the magnitude and direction of the electric field at the given point from the rod can be calculated.

Formula:

The magnitude of the electric field at a point,

E=q4蟺蔚or2r^(r^=肠辞蝉胃i^+蝉颈苍胃j^) (i)

Where, r= The distance of field point from the charge

q= charge of the particle

The linear density of the distribution, =q/L (ii)

03

a) Calculation of the magnitude of the electric field

We assume q > 0. Let, the (infinitesimal) charge on an elementdxof the rod contains charge using equation (i),dqis位诲虫. By symmetry, we conclude that all horizontal field components (due to the charges) cancel and we need only 鈥渟um鈥 (integrate) of the vertical components. Symmetry also allows us to integrate these contributions over only half the rod (0xL/2).

Thus, the value of sine from the figure is given as:

蝉颈苍胃=R/r

where,r=x2+R2.

Using the concept of electric field due a line charge the magnitude of the electric from equation (i) can be given as:

|E|=20L/2dq4蟺蔚or2sin=24蟺蔚o0L/2位诲虫x2+R2yx2+R2=(q/L)R2蟺蔚oxR2x2+R20L/2=q2蟺蔚oR1L2+4R2=7.81x1012C2蟺蔚o(0.06鈥尘)(0.145m)2+(0.06m)2=12.4鈥塏/颁

Hence,thevalueoftheelectricfieldis12.4鈥塏/颁.

b) Calculation of the direction of the electric field

As noted above in the calculations of part (a), the electric field E points in the +y-direction, or +90ocounter-clockwise from the +x-axis.
