Two 10-cm-diameter charged rings face each other, 25.0 cmcm apart. Both rings are charged to + 40.0 nCnC . What is the electric field strength
\at the midpoint between the two rings?
\at the center of the left ring?
\Two 10-cm-diameter charged rings face each other, 25.0 cmcm apart. Both rings are charged to + 40.0 nCnC . What is the electric field strength
\at the midpoint between the two rings?
\at the center of the left ring?
\Step 1:
\Diameter of the ring is .
Charge on each ring is .
Diastance between the rings is m.
Radius of the ring is m.
Electric field strength for a ring with radius and distance
from the center of the ring is
.
Find the elcetric field strengthat mid point.
\Charge on mid point is resultant of both left and right rings on that point.
\Elcetric field strength Contribution of left ring:
\Diastance from the left ring t the mid point is m.
Substitute corresponding values in the formula.
\.
Since moid point is considered , the magntude of the right ring contribution is also same as the left ring and is in oppsit direction.
\.
(ii)
\Find the field strength at the center of the left ring.
\Contribution of left ring:
\Diastance from the left ring to that point itself is zero.
\\
Contribution of right ring:
\Diastance from the right ring to center of the left ring is m.
Substitute corresponding values in the formula.
\.
\
Therefore field strength at the center of the left ring is .
