If the total charge on a thin rod of length0.4mis 2.5n/C, what is the magnitude of the electric field at a location1Cmfrom the midpoint of the rod, perpendicular to the rod?

Short Answer

Expert verified

1.12×104N/C

Step by step solution

01

Identification of the given data

The given data is listed below as-

  • The length of the thin rod is,L=0.4m
  • The charge of the thin rod is,Q=2.5n/C
  • The location of the electric field is,X=1cm
02

Significance of the electric field

The electric field is a region in which a charged particle is able to exert force on another charged particle.

The concept of the electric field gives the magnitude of the electric field.

03

Determination of the magnitude of the electric field

The equation of the magnitude of the electric field is expressed as,

E=14πε0Qx2+L22x

Here,role="math" localid="1656051019749" 14πε0is the constant of electric field,Q is the charge of the thin rod, Xis the location of the electric field and is the length of the thin rod.

For,14πε0=8.99×109N.m2/C2, Q=2.5nC,x=1cmandL=0.4m

E=8.99×109N.m2/C2×2.5nC1cm2+0.4m221cm=8.99×109N.m2/C22.5nC×1×10-9C1nC1cm×1cm100cm1cm×1cm100cm2+0.4m22=8.99×109N.m2/C22.5×10-9C0.01m0.012+0.04m22=8.99×109N.m2/C2×2.5×10-9C2.002×10-3m2

.

Hence, further as,

E=8.99×109N.m2/C2×2.5×10-9C2.002×10-3m2=8.99×109N.m2/C2×1.24×10-8C/m2=11220.42N/C=1.12×104N/C

Thus, the magnitude of the electric field is 1.12×104N/C.

If the magnitude of the electric field in air exceeds roughly3×10-6N/C, the air breaks down and a spark forms. For a two-disk capacitor of radius50cmwith a gap of role="math" localid="1656068507772" 1mm, what is the maximum charge (plus and minus) that can be placed on the disks without a spark forming (which would permit charge to flow from one disk to the other)? Under these conditions, what is the strength of the fringe field just outside the center of the capacitor?

(b) If a charge of-5nCwere placed midway between the rings, what would be the magnitude and direction of the force exerted on this charge by the rings? (c) What are the magnitude and direction of the electric field midway between the rings if both rings carry a charge of +35nC?
