Question: The smiling face of Fig. 24-49 consists of three items:

1.A thin rod of charge-3.0μCthat forms a full circle of radius;

2.a second thin rod of charge2.0μCthat forms a circular arc of radius 4.0cm, subtending an angle of 900about the center of the full circle;

3.An electric dipole with a dipolemoment that is perpendicular to aradial line and has a magnitude of1.28×10-21C.m.What is the net electric potential atthe center?

Short Answer

Expert verified

Answer:

The net electric potential at the center is 0V.

Step by step solution

01

The given data

  1. The radius of the full circle isR1=6cm
  2. The radius of the second thin rod isR2=4cm
  3. Charge of the thin rod that forms full circle of radius,R1=6cm is q1=-3μC.
  4. Charge of the second thin rod of radiusR2=4cm, is q2=2μCthat subtends an angle of 900 about the center of the circle.

Magnitude of the dipole moment that is perpendicular to a radial line,p=1.28×10-21C·m

02

Understanding the concept of the electric field

Using the concept of the electric potential, we can get the net electric potential at the point due to charges can be calculated by adding all the potentials due to the individual charges.

Formula:

The electric potential at point P due to the circle is given by, V=14πε0QR (i)

03

Calculation of the net electric potential

The electric potential due to first charge is given using equation (i) and the given values as follows:

V1=14πε0Q1R1=9.0×109×-3μC0.06m=-4.5×105V

Due to the arc, the potential of the second charge at P is given using the given data in equation (i) as follows:

V2=14πε0Q2R2=9.0×109×2×10-6C0.04m=+4.5×105V

The potential at P due to the dipole at P is V3= 0 (at equatorial position)

Thus, the net electric potential at P using the above values is given as:

Vnet=V1+V2+V3=-4.5×105+4.5×105+0=0V

Hence, the net electric potential is 0V.
