Short Answer

Expert verified

(a) A disc with a radius of Rand a charge of Qthat is uniformly distributed. Discover an equation for the strength of the electric field at a point Pon the axis at a distance zfrom the center.

(b) The solution isz=R3

Step by step solution

01

Given information and formula used

Given :

η2ε0[1-zz2+R2]=12η2ε0

Theory used :

The electric field due to a uniformly charged disc at a point very distant from the surface of the disc is given by:

E=σ2ε0

(σ is the surface charge density on the disc)

02

Writing a realistic problem and finding the solution of the problem 

(a) Realistic problem :

Given a disc with a radius of Rand a charge of Qthat is uniformly distributed. Discover an equation for the strength of the electric field at a point Pon the axis at a distance zfrom the center. If

η2ε0[1-zz2+R2]=12η2ε0

(b) Solution :

From the previous expression, finding the value of z :

η2ε0[1-zz2+R2]=12η2ε01-zz2+R2=12z2z2+R2=14z2+R2=4z2z=R3

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?

FIGURE P25.69 shows a thin rod of length L and charge Q. Find an expression for the electric potential a distance x away from the center of the rod on the axis of the rod.

Your physics assignment is to figure out a way to use electricity to launch a small 6.0-cm-long plastic drink stirrer. You decide that you’ll charge the little plastic rod by rubbing it with fur, then hold it near a long, charged wire, as shown in FIGURE P23.56. When you let go, the electric force of the wire on the plastic rod will shoot it away. Suppose you can uniformly charge the plastic stirrer to 10nCand that the linear charge density of the long wire is 1.0×10-7C/m. What is the net electric force on the plastic stirrer if the end closest to the wire is 2.0cmaway?

Hint: The stirrer cannot be modeled as a point charge; an integration is required.

Two parallel plates1.0cmapart are equally and oppositely charged. An electron is released from rest at the surface of the negative plate and simultaneously a proton is released from rest at the surface of the positive plate. How far from the negative plate is the point at which the electron and proton pass each other?
