Two rings of radius5Cm are24 apart and concentric with a common horizontal x axis. The ring on the left carries a uniformly distributed charge of+31nC , and the ring on the right carries a uniformly distributed charge of-31nC. (a) What are the magnitude and direction of the electric field on the x axis, halfway between the two rings? (b) If a charge of-9nC were placed midway between the rings, what would be the force exerted on this charge by the rings?

Short Answer

Expert verified
  1. The net electric field midway the two rings is30477.9N/C .
  2. The force on the rings is 2.710-4Nwith negative x-direction

Step by step solution

01

Identification of given data

The given data can be listed below,

  • The radius of both the rings is r1=5cm1m100cm=0.05m.
  • The distance between rings is,r2=24cm1m100cm=0.24m.
  • The charge on first ring is,q1=+31nC.
  • The charge on the second ring is,qr=-3nC.

Concept/Significance of electrostatic force

The electrostatic force is rather weak. It indicates that the work done on a particle is solely determined by its beginning and ending positions, rather than the path taken.

03

(a) Determination of magnitude and direction of the electric field on the x axis, halfway between the two rings

Electric field due to uniformly charged ring is given by,

E=KQrR+r32

Here, K is the coulomb constant, Q is the charge on the rod,R is the radial distance from the center of ring and r is the radius of the ring.

The net electric field due to two rings is given by,

Enet=E1+E2

Substitute values in the above equation.

localid="1656047681239" Enet=9109N.m2/C23110-90.12m0.05m2+0.12m232+9109N.m2/C23110-9C0.12m0.05m2+0.12m232=29109N.m2/C23110-9C0.12m0.05m2+0.12m232=30477.9N/C

Thus, the net electric field midway the two rings is30477.9N/C .

04

(b) determination of the force exerted on this charge by the rings

Force on the rings is given by,

F=qE

Here q is the charge on observation location and E is the electric field on the rings.

F=-910-9C30477.9N/C=2.710-4N

Thus, the force on the rings is 2.710-4N/Cwith negative x-direction.

Question: A glass sphere carrying a uniformly distributed charge of is surrounded by an initially neutral spherical plastic shell (Figure 15.67).

(a) Qualitatively, indicate the polarization of the plastic. (b) Qualitatively, indicate the polarization of the inner glass sphere. Explain briefly. (c) Is the electric field at location P outside the plastic shell larger, smaller, or the same as it would be if the plastic weren鈥檛 there? Explain briefly. (d) Now suppose that the glass sphere carrying a uniform charge of is surrounded by an initially neutral metal shell (Figure 15.68). Qualitatively, indicate the polarization of the metal.

e) Now be quantitative about the polarization of the metal sphere and prove your assertions. (f) Is the electric field at location outside the metal shell larger, smaller, or the same as it would be if the metal shell weren鈥檛 there? Explain briefly.

What is wrong with Figure 15.35 and this associated incorrect student explanation? 鈥淭he electric field at location inside the uniformly charged sphere points in the direction shown, because the charges closest to this location have the largest effect.鈥 (Spheres provide the most common exception to the normally useful rule that the nearest charges usually make the largest contribution to the electric field.)

A thin glass rod of length 80 cmis rubbed all over with wool and acquires a charge of 60 nC, distributed uniformly over its surface. Calculate the magnitude of the electric field due to the rod at a location 7 cmfrom the midpoint of the rod. Do the calculation two ways, first using the exact equation for a rod of any length, and second using the approximate equation for a long rod.

A thin rod lies on the x axis with one end atand the other end at-A, as shown in Figure 15.51. A charge of-Q
is spread uniformly over the surface of the rod. We want to set up an integral to find the electric field at location <0,Y,0>due to the rod. Following the procedure discussed in this chapter, we have cut up the rod into small segments, each of which can be considered as a point charge. We have selected a typical piece, shown in red on the diagram

Answer using the variables x,y,dx,A,Qas appropriate. Remember that the rod has charge-Q. (a) In terms of the symbolic quantities given above and on the diagram, what is the charge per unit length of the rod? (b) What is the amount of chargedQon the small piece of lengthdx? (c) What is the vector from this source to the observation location? (d) What is the distance from this source to the observation location? (e) When we set up an integral to find the electric field at the observation location due to the entire rod, what will be the integration variable?
