Positive charge Q is distributed uniformly along the positive y-axis between y = 0 and y = a. A negative point charge -q lies on the positive x-axis, a distance x from the origin (in Fig.).

(a) Calculate the x- and y-components of the electric field produced by the charge distribution Q at points on the positive x-axis.

(b) Calculate the x- and y-components of the force that the charge distribution Q exerts on q.

(c) Show that if x W a, Fx _ -Qq>4pP0x2 and Fy _ +Qqa>8pP0x3 . Explain why this result is obtained.

a) the x- and y-components of the electric field produced by the charge distribution Q at points on the positive x-axis is

E=kQxa2+x2ix-kQa1x-1a2+x2]iyiy

b) the x- and y-components of the force that the charge distribution Q exerts on q

E=kQxa2+x2ix-kQa1x-1a2+x2]iyiy

c) This is proven in equation (4) which is given below

Step by step solution

01

Step 1:

The illustration is shown in the figure below

We will donate the line density of the charge as

=Qa

02

Integrating and substituting the given equation and its product to get a final desirable equation

a) Each dQ will generate dE which has two-component

dE=kdQr2cos()ix (1)

a) Each dQ will generate dE which has two-component

dEx=kdQr2cos()ix

Where: dQ=-dyand cos()=x/x2+y2

Substitution in (1) to get

dEz=办虫位诲测x2+y23/2iz (2)

Integrate (7) to get that

Ez=0a办虫位诲测x2+y23/2iz=办位虫yx2x2+y20aix=办位虫xx2+a2iz

Similarly, the vertical component is given by

dEx=kdQr2cos()ix

Where: dQ=and sin()=y/x2+y2

Substitution into the previous equation get

localid="1664530330650" dEy=-kydyx2+y23/2iy

Integrate (2) to get that

Ey=0aa-kydyx2+y23/2iy=-k1x2+y20aiy=-k1x2+a2-1xiy

The net electric field is given by

Ey=kaxx2+y2ix=-k1x2+a2+1x0aiy=kQxx2+a2iz-kQa1x-1x2+a2iy

b) the force is acting on the negative charge is in opposite direction to the electric field since the charge is negative

=kQxx2+a2iz-kQa1x-1x2+a2iy

c) If the x? a then

Fx=-kqQx2=-qQ40x2

Where : x2+a2x

Also the vertical component

Fy=kqQax2+a2-xxx2+a2=kqQxa1+a/x2-1xx2+a2 (3)

Simplify using polynomial

x2+a2=1+a22x2

Substitution in (4) gives

Fy=kqQaa22x2=qQx4蟺蔚虫3 (4)

This result is expected because if x then we consider line charge Q as a point charge placed at x=0 and y=a/2 while calculating the force if we calculate the force using the approximate we will get the same result.
