Suppose that the radius of a disk is R=20, and the total charge distributed uniformly all over the disk isrole="math" localid="1656058758873" Q=6×10-6C. Use the exact result to calculate the electric fieldfrom the center of the disk, and alsofrom the center of the disk. Does the field decrease significantly?

Short Answer

Expert verified

2.68×1018N/Cand2.66×1018N/C

Yes, the field decreases significantly.

Step by step solution

01

Identification of the given data

The given data can be listed below as-

  • The disk’s radius is, R=20cm=20cm×1m100cm=0.2m.
  • The uniformly distributed charge of the disk is,Q=6×106C .
02

Significance of the electric field

The electric field describes as a particular region that is fruitful for the charged particle to exert force on another charged particle.

The equation of the electric field gives the electric field at the center of the disk.

03

Determination of the electric field at 1 mm from the center of the disk

The area of the disk can be expressed as,

A=Ï€¸é2

Here, Ris the radius of the disk.

Forrole="math" localid="1656059658031" R=20cm .

A=Ï€0.2m2

The equation of the electric field is expressed as,

E=Q/A2ε01-zR2+Z212…(1)

Here, Qis the uniformly distributed charge on the disk, Ais the area of the disk,R is the disk’s radius andZ is the distance of the electric field from the center of the ring.

For Q=6×106C,A=π0.2m2,ε0=8.85×10-12C2/Nm2,Z=1mm.

E=6×106C/π0.2m22×8.85×10-12C2/Nm21-1mm×1m1000mm0.2m2+1mm212=6×106C/π0.2m22×8.85×10-12C2/Nm21-1×10-3m0.2m2+1mm×1m1000mm212=6×106C2.22×10-12C2/N1-1×10-3m0.2m=2.702×1018N/C×1-5×10-3=2.702×1018N/C×0.995=2.68×1018N/C

04

Determination of the electric field 3 mm from the center of the disk

ForQ=6×106C ,A=π0.2m2,ε0=8.85×10-12C2/Nm2,z=3mm.

E=6×106C/π0.2m22×8.85×10-12C2/Nm21-1mm×1m1000mm0.22+1mm212=6×106C/π0.2m22×8.85×10-12C2/Nm21-1×10-3m0.2m2+1mm×1m1000mm212=6×106C/π0.2m22×8.85×10-12C2/N1-3×10-3m0.2m=2.702×1018N/C×1-0.985=2.66×1018N/C

Thus, the electric field at from the center of the disk is 2.68×1018N/Cand the electric field at from the center of the disk is.2.66×1018N/C. The field significantly decreases.

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?

A capacitor consists of two large metal disks of radius 1.1 m placed parallel to each other, a distance of 1.2 mm apart. The capacitor is charged up to have an increasing amount of charge +Q on one disk and −Q on the other. At about what value of Q does a spark appear between the disks?

Explain briefly how knowing the electric field of a ring helps in calculating the field of a disk.

You stand at location A, a distance d from the origin, and hold a small charged ball. You find that the electric force on the ball is 0.08 N. You move to location B, a distance 2d from the origin, and find the electric force on the ball to be 0.04 N. What object located at the origin might be the source of the field? (1) A point charge, (2) A dipole, (3) A uniformly charged rod, (4) A uniformly charged ring, (5) A uniformly charged disk, (6) A capacitor, (7) A uniformly charged hollow sphere, (8) None of the above If the force at B were 0.0799 N, what would be your answer? If the force at B were 0.01 N, what would be your answer? If the force at B were 0.02 N, what would be your answer?

Two rings of radius 5cmare 20cmapart and concentric with a common horizontal axis. The ring on the left carries a uniformly distributed charge of +35nC, and the ring on the right carries a uniformly distributed charge of -35nC. (a) What are the magnitude and direction of the electric field on the axis, halfway between the two rings? (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?
