Answer:

x = a + \frac{a\sqrt2}{\sqrt3 - \sqrt2}

Explanation:

Position of charge 3q is x = 0

position of charge -2q is x = a

so here we know that

when two charges are of opposite nature then the electric field will be zero on the line joining the two charges at the position near to smaller magnitude charge

So here the electric field will be zero if the field due to 3q is counterbalanced by field due to -2q

so here we can say

\frac{k(3q)}{(r+a)^2} + \frac{k(-2q)}{r^2} = 0

\frac{3}{(r + a)^2} = \frac{2}{r^2}

\frac{r+a}{r} = \sqrt{\frac{3}{2}}

1 + \frac{a}{r} =\sqrt{\frac{3}{2}}

\frac{a}{r} = \frac{\sqrt3 - \sqrt2}{\sqrt2}

so we will have

r = \frac{a\sqrt2}{\sqrt3 - \sqrt2}

so the x coordinate of this position is given as

x = a + \frac{a\sqrt2}{\sqrt3 - \sqrt2}

elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Answer: a) Cnew=Cinitial ; b) λouter new=  2*λ outer initial

Explanation: In order to explain this question we have to take into account the expression of teh cylinder capacitor given by:

C/L= (2*π*εo)/ln (b/a)=  where b and a are the outer and inner radius, respectively. L is the length of the capacitor.

As you can se this formule depents  of geometrical characateristics  of the capacitor.

The capacitance is the same after change the densities of charge.

On the other hand,

The new charge in each cylinder ( inner and outer) is determined

The new potential is 2 times the initial one so

V new= 2* Vinitial

Also we know that

Vnew= Q/C= λnew*L/C;   C= constant

using this formule and considering  that V new is doubled then the charge per one meter length,  is also doubled .

This is as follow:

Vnew=  λnew*L/C=  

λnew =  (2*Vinitial)* C/L= 2  (λ initial)

Then  λouter new = 2* λouter initial
