A thin insulating rod is bent into a semicircular arc of radius a, and a total electric charge Q is distributed uniformly along

the rod. Calculate the potential at the center of curvature of the arc if the potential is assumed to be zero at infinity.

Answer:

v = \frac{kQ}{a}  

Explanation:

We define the linear density of charge as:

\lambda = \frac{Q}{L}

     Where L is the rod's length, in this case the semicircle's length L = πr

The potential created at the center by an differential element of charge is:

dv = \frac{kdq}{r}

          where k is the coulomb's constant

                     r is the distance from dq to center of the circle

Thus.

v = \int_{}^{}\frac{kdq}{a}  

v = \frac{k}{a}\int_{}^{}dq

v = \frac{kQ}{a}     Potential at the center of the semicircle

Answer:

r =3 *\sqrt{2} = 4.24 cm

Explanation:

given data

Radius of sphere 3.0 cm

charge Q = 2.0 m C

We know that maximum electric field is given as

E_{MAX}= \frac{KQ}{r^{2}}

electric field inside the sphere can be determine by using below relation

\frac{KQ}{r^{2}}= \frac{1}{2}*\frac{KQ}{R^{2}}

r = \sqrt{2}R

r =3 *\sqrt{2} = 4.24 cm
