Two10cmdiameter charged rings face each other,20cmapart. Both rings are charged to+20nC. What is the electric field strength at (a) the midpoint between the two rings and (b) the center of the left ring?

Short Answer

Expert verified

a.Electric field at midpoint between the two rings is0N/C.

b. Electric field at the center of the left ring is4.108×103N/C.

Step by step solution

01

Calculation for Electric field at midpoint between the two rings (part a)

(a)

Diameter of both circle is10cm.

Radius is 5cm.

Charge on both circle is+20nC.

Distance between both circle is20cm.

Formula used:

Electric field due to a ring of radiusRand chargeQat a distanceris given by,

E=kQrr2+R23/2.......(1)

Electric field at the center of both rings will be0N/C.

Because electric field due to both rings will be equal and in opposite direction.

02

Figure for given situation

03

Calculation of electric field at the center of the left ring  (part b)

(b)

Electric field due left circle at its own center is0N/C.

This can find out by substituting0forrin equation(1).

The electric field generated by the right ring in the middle of the left circle is now in the left direction, and its magnitude may be measured using equation(1).

E=9×109N·m2/C220×10-9C20×10-2m(0.2m)2+(0.05m)23/2

E=4.108×103N/C

A positron is an elementary particle identical to an electron except that its charge is +e. An electron and a positron can rotate about their center of mass as if they were a dumbbell connected by a massless rod. What is the orbital frequency for an electron and a positron1.0nm apart?

You have a summer intern position with a company that designs and builds nanomachines. An engineer with the company is designing a microscopic oscillator to help keep time, and you’ve been assigned to help him analyze the design. He wants to place a negative charge at the center of a very small, positively charged metal ring. His claim is that the negative charge will undergo simple harmonic motion at a frequency determined by the amount of charge on the ring.

a. Consider a negative charge near the center of a positively charged ring centered on the z-axis. Show that there is a restoring force on the charge if it moves along the z-axisbut stays close to the center of the ring. That is, show there’s a force that tries to keep the charge at z=0. b. Show that for small oscillations, with amplitude <<R, a particle of mass mwith charge-qundergoes simple harmonic motion with frequency f=12πqQ4πε0mR3,RandQare the radius and charge of the ring.

c. Evaluate the oscillation frequency for an electron at the center of a 2.0μmdiameter ring charged to 1.0×10-13C.
