Figure 24-64 shows a ring of outer radius R=13.0cm, inner radius r=0.200R , and uniform surface charge density =6.20pC/m2 . With V=0at infinity, find the electric potential at point P on the central axis of the ring, at distance z=2.00R from the center of the ring.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The electric potential at point P is 1.0310-2V.

Step by step solution

01

Given data:

  • Outer radius of the disk,R=13.0cm or 0.13m
  • Inner radius of the disk, r=0.200R
  • Uniform surface charge density,=6.20pC/m2role="math" localid="1662627662240" or6.2010-12C/m2
  • The potential at infinity,V=0
  • The distance from the center of the ring, z=2.00R

Understanding the concept of superposition

According to the superposition law, in a particular situation when one or more bodies have potential value on a distant point, the consequent potential value is equal to the total of the potentials resulting from the bodies that are now present in the system.

Here, you are given a point that is at a distance from the center of the disk with a smaller hole in its radius. Thus, if you consider that this case is a mixture of two disks with oppositely charge densities, you can calculate the required potential value for the disk problem using the superposition theorem.

Formula:

The potential due to a charged disk on a point at a given distance(z>0),

V=20z2+R2-z 鈥.. (i)

Where, is the surface charge density of the disk, R is the radius of the disk, 0 is the permittivity in vacuum, Z is the distance of the point from the center of the disk.

03

Calculate the electric potential at point P  on the central axis of the ring:

The given system is treated as a superposition of a disk of surface charge density and radius Rwith a smaller, oppositely charged, the disk of surface charge density - and radius r as the smaller disk creates a hole.

Thus, the net electric potential at the point P can be given using equation (i) as follows:

Vnet=20z2+R2-z+-20z2+r2-z=20z2+R2-z2+r2

As required this equation vanishes as r.

Substitute 2Rfor z and 0.2R for r in the above equation.

role="math" localid="1662629432710" Vnet=202R2+R2-2R2+0.2R2=205R2-4.04R2=R05-4.042

Substitute known numerical values in the above equation, and you get

Vnet=6.2010-12C/m20.13m8.8510-12C2/N.m22.236-2.0092=0.09110.1135V=1.0310-2V

Hence, the required value of the electric potential at point P is 1.0310-2V.
