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 \"\".
