Two rings of radius 4 cm are 12 cm apart and concentric with a common horizontal x axis. The ring on the left carries a uniformly distributed charge of +40nC, and the ring on the right carries a uniformly distributed charge of -40nC. (a) What is theelectric field due to the right ring at a location midway between the two rings? (b) What is the electric field due to the left ring at a location midway between the two rings? (c) What is the net electric field at a location midway between the two rings?

Step by step solution

01

Identification of given data

The given data can be listed below,

  • The radius of left ring is,Rl=4cm1m100cm=0.04m.
  • The radius of right ring is,Rr=12m=012m.
  • The charge on left ring is,ql=+40nC
  • The charge on the right is,qr=-40nC

Concept/Significance of electric field

Regions of electric field E is a vector quantity that exists everywhere in the universe. The force exerted on a charged particle if it had beenrepresented by the electric field at a location.

03

(a) Determination of the electric field due to the right ring at a location midway between the two rings

The electric field due toright ring is given by,

E=KqrrRr2+r23/2

Here,ris the radial distance from the center of the ring, q is the magnitude of charge on the right ring, R is the radius of the right ring, K is the coulomb constant.

Substitute all the values in the above,

Er=9109N.m2/C24010-90.060.042+0.0623/2=57603.48N/C

Thus, the electric field due to right ring in midway between the two rings is 57603.48N/Cwith positive x-direction.

04

(b) Determination of the electric field due to the left ring at a location midway between the two rings

The electric field due to left ring is given by,

E=KqlrRl2+r23/2

Here,ris the radial distance from the center of the ring, q is the charge on the left ring, R is the radius of the left ring, K is the coulomb constant.

Substitute all the values in the above,

El=9109N.m2/C24010-90.060.042+0.0623/2=57603.48N/C=5.76104N/C

Thus, the electric field due to left ring in midway between the two rings is 5.76104N/Cwith positive x-direction.

05

(c) Determination of the net electric field at a location midway between the two rings.

The net electric field in midway between two rings is given by,

Enet=El+Er

Substitute all the values in the above expression.

Enet=5.76104N/C+5.76104N/C=1.152105N/C

Thus, the net electric field in midway between two rings is 1.152105N/C.

06

(d) Determination of the force exerted on -2nCcharge placed midway between the rings.

The force exerted on a charge midway the rings is given by,

F=qE

Here, the q is the charge and E is the net electric field midway between rings.

Substitute all the values in the above,

F=(-2x10-9C)(1.152x105N)=-2.3010-4N

Thus, the exerted force on the charge moves it to the left in the direction of -ve x-axis with a magnitude of 2.3010-4N.

An electrostatic dust precipitator that is installed in a factory smokestack includes a straight metal wire of length L=0.8 mthat is charged approximately uniformly with a total charge Q=0.410-7C . A speck of coal dust (which is mostly carbon) is near the wire, far from both ends of the wire; the distance from the wire to the speck is d=1.5 cm . Carbon has an atomic mass of 12( 6protons and 6neutrons in the nucleus). A careful measurement of the polarizability of a carbon atom gives the value

=1.9610-40CmN/C

(a) Calculate the initial acceleration of the speck of coal dust, neglecting gravity. Explain your steps clearly. Your answer must be expressed in terms ofQ,L,d,and . You can use other quantities in your calculations, but your final result must not include them. Don鈥檛 put numbers into your calculation until the very end, but then show the numerical calculation that you carry out on your calculator. It is convenient to use the 鈥渂inomial expansion鈥 that you may have learned in calculus, that(1+)n1+苍蔚is 1. Note thatcan be negative. (b) If the speck of coal dust were initially twice as far from the charged wire, how much smaller would be the initial acceleration of the speck?

A student claimed that the equation for the electric field outside a cube of edge length L, carrying a uniformly distributed charge Q, at a distance x from the center of the cube, was

Explain how you know that this cannot be the right equation.

In Figure 15.61 are two uniformly charged disks of radius R that are very close to each other (gap鈮猂). The disk on the left has a charge of鈭Qleftand the disk on the right has a charge of +Qright(Qrightis greater thanQleft). A uniformly charged thin rod of length L lies at the edge of the disks, parallel to the axis of the disks and cantered on the gap. The rod has a charge of +Qrod.

(a) Calculate the magnitude and direction of the electric field at the point marked 脳 at the center of the gap region, and explain briefly, including showing the electric field on a diagram. Your results must not contain any symbols other than the given quantities R,Qleft, Qright, L, andQrod(and fundamental constants), unless you define intermediate results in terms of the given quantities. (b) If an electron is placed at the center of the gap region, what are the magnitude and direction of the electric force that acts on the electron?
