Two rings of radius 5 cm are 20 cm apart and concentric with a common horizontal x-axis. The ring on the left carries a uniformly distributed charge of +30 nC, and the ring on the right carries a uniformly distributed charge of −30 nC. What is the electric field due to the right ring at a location midway between the two rings?

Respuesta :

Answer:

The electric field due to the right ring at a location midway between the two rings is [tex]2.41\times10^{3}\ V/m[/tex]

Explanation:

Given that,

Radius of first ring = 5 cm

Radius of second ring = 20 cm

Charge on the left of the ring = +30 nC

Charge on the right of the ring = -30 nC

We need to calculate the electric field due to the right ring at a location midway between the two rings

Using formula of  electric field

[tex]E=\dfrac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_{0}}\times\dfrac{qx}{(x^2+R^2)^{\frac{3}{2}}}[/tex]

Put the value into the formula

[tex]E=\dfrac{9\times10^{9}\times30\times10^{-9}\times0.1}{((0.1)^2+(0.2)^2)^{\frac{3}{2}}}[/tex]

[tex]E=2.41\times10^{3}\ V/m[/tex]

Hence, The electric field due to the right ring at a location midway between the two rings is [tex]2.41\times10^{3}\ V/m[/tex]

The value of the electric field due to the right ring at a location midway between the two rings is [tex]2.41\times10^3 \rm V/m[/tex].

What is electric field?

Electric field is the property associated with each point in the space when there is charge is present. It can be given as,

[tex]E=\dfrac{qx}{4\pi\varepsilon_0\sqrt[3]{(r^2+R^2)^2} }[/tex]

Given information-

The radius of the big ring is 20 cm.

The radius of the small ring is 5 cm.

The ring on the left carries a uniformly distributed charge of +30 n C.

The ring on the right carries a uniformly distributed charge of −30 n C.

Put the values in the above formula as,

[tex]E=\dfrac{9\times10^9\times30\times10^{-9}\times0.1}{\sqrt[3]{(0.1^2+0.2^2)^2} } \\E=2.41\times10^3 \rm V/m[/tex]

Hence the value of the electric field due to the right ring at a location midway between the two rings is [tex]2.41\times10^3 \rm V/m[/tex].
