Step by step solution

01

Given information and formula used

Given :

(9.0×109Nm2/C2)2(2.0×10-7C/m)r=25000N/C

Theory used :

TheElectric field of an infinite line charge with a uniform linear charge density can be obtained by a using Gauss' law. Considering a Gaussian surface in the form of a cylinder at radius r, the electric field has the same magnitude at every point of the cylinder and is directed outward.

02

Writing a realistic problem and finding the solution of the problem 

(a) Realistic problem :

On an infinite charge rod, let the linear charge density is 2×10-7C/m.

In 25000N/C, find the electric field strength at point Pon the rod's axis at distance rfrom the center.

(b) Solution :

(9.0×109Nm2/C2)2(2.0×10-7C/m)r=25000N/Cr=(9.0×109Nm2/C2)2(2.0×10-7C/m)25000N/C=0.144m

A small glass bead charged to +6.0nCis in the plane that bisects a thin, uniformly charged, 10-cm-long glass rod and is 4.0cmfrom the rod’s center. The bead is repelled from the rod with a force of840mN. What is the total charge on the rod?

The electric field 5.0cmfrom a very long charged wire is (2000 N/C, toward the wire). What is the charge (in nC) on a1.0-cm-long segment of the wire?

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.
