Electrical field of a ring of charge, $E = \frac{q}{4 蟺系_{o}} 脳 \frac{z}{{(R^{2} + z^{2})}^{3 / 2}}$

Step by step solution

Step: 1 Electrical field:

The electric field radiates outward in altogether directions from the purpose charge. Spherical equipotential surfaces are represented by the circles. A vector of the individual fields are often wont to calculate the electrical field from any amount of point charges.

Step: 2 Horizontal component of Electrical field:

The Horizontal component is

$E_{z} = 2 d E_{z} E_{z} = 2 E \cos 胃$

$(\cos 胃 = \frac{z}{\sqrt{R^{2} + z^{2}}})$

The vertical components are equal and opposite and cancel each other.

$E = 2 脳 \frac{1}{4 蟺系_{o}} 脳 (\frac{q}{2 蟺 R}) 脳 \frac{d l 脳 z}{{(R^{2} + z^{2})}^{3 / 2}}$

Applying integration and substituting the value to the equation,

$E = \frac{z}{4 蟺系_{o}} 脳 \frac{q}{2 蟺 R} 脳 \frac{z}{{(R^{2} + z^{2})}^{3 / 2}} {鈭�}_{0}^{R} d l$

$E = \frac{q}{4 蟺系_{o}} 脳 \frac{z}{{(R^{2} + z^{2})}^{3 / 2}}$

Step: 3 Evaluate diagram:

Due to electric field at $P$ in $d E$ .

$I f z < < R$ :

$E = \frac{q z}{4 蟺系_{o} R^{3}}$ (At $z = 0$ and center of circle $E = 0$ )

If $z > > R$

$E = \frac{q}{4 蟺系_{o}} 脳 \frac{z}{z^{3} {[1 + \frac{R^{2}}{z^{2}}]}^{3 / 2}}$

$E = \frac{q}{4 蟺系_{o}} 脳 \frac{1}{z^{2}}$
