Explanation:
Let the plastic rod extends from - L to + L .
consider a small length of dx on the rod on the positive x axis at distance x . charge on it = λ dx where λ is linear charge density .
It will create a field at point P on y -axis . Distance of point P
= √ x² + .15²
electric field at P due to small charged length
dE = k λ dx x / (x² + .15² )
Its component along Y - axis
= dE cosθ where θ is angle between direction of field dE and y axis
= dE x .15 / √ x² + .15²
= k λ dx .15 / (x² + .15² )³/²
If we consider the same strip along the x axis at the same position on negative x axis , same result will be found . It is to be noted that the component of field in perpendicular to y axis will cancel out each other . Now for electric field due to whole rod at point p , we shall have to integrate the above expression from - L to + L
E = ∫ k λ .15 / (x² + .15² )³/² dx
= k λ x L / .15 √( L² / 4 + .15² )
b) The length of the rod:
[tex]E = \int\limits dx . k \lambda .15 / (x^2 + .15^2 )^{1/2} dx\\\\E= \frac{k \lambda * L}{0.15} \sqrt{( L^2 / 4 + .15^2 )[/tex]
Given:
d = 1.5 mλ = 2.5 nC/m
Let the plastic rod extends from - L to + L .Consider a small length of dx on the rod on the positive x axis at distance x . charge on it = λ dx where λ is linear charge density .It will create a field at point P on y -axis.
Distance of point P =[tex]\sqrt{x^2 + 0.15^2}[/tex]
How to calculate Electric Field?
E.F at P due to small charged length[tex]dE = \frac{ k \lambda x.dx}{(x^2 + .15^2 )}[/tex]
Its component along Y - axis = dE cosθ where θ is angle between direction of field dE and y axis
[tex]= \frac{dE x .15 }{\sqrt{x^2 + .15^2} }\\\\= \frac{k \lambda dx .15}{(x^2 + .15^2 )^{1/2}}[/tex]
If we consider the same strip along the x axis at the same position on negative x axis , same result will be found . We can say that the component of field in perpendicular to y axis will cancel out each other.
Now for electric field due to whole rod at point p , we shall have to integrate the above expression from - L to + L
[tex]E = \int\limits dx . k \lambda .15 / (x^2 + .15^2 )^{1/2} dx\\\\E= \frac{k \lambda * L}{0.15} \sqrt{( L^2 / 4 + .15^2 )}[/tex]
