Answer:

Explanation:

As per the concept of plate tectonics, The continents are like rock plates moving on the magma underneath it and magnetism is a part of it.

As we know Earth spin on its axis, this interaction of Earth's spin and magnetic material inside the Earth creates a magnetic field from North to South pole.

When hot material inside the Earth cool, it solidify and the magnetic material form crystals which align themselves along the Earth's magnetic field.

Hence by this way Earth's magnetic pole reversal provide evidence for plate tectonics.

1) A thin ring made of uniformly charged insulating material has total charge Q and radius R. The ring is positioned along the x

allochka39001 [22]

Answer:

(A) considering the charge "q" evenly distributed, applying the technique of charge integration for finite charges, you obtain the expression for the potential along any point in the Z-axis:

$V(z)=\frac{Q}{4\pi (\epsilon_{0}) \sqrt{R^{2} +z^{2}} }$

With $(\epsilon_{0})$ been the vacuum permittivity

(B) The expression for the magnitude of the E(z) electric field along the Z-axis is:

$E(z)=\frac{QZ}{4\pi (\epsilon_{0}) (R^{2} +z^{2})^{\frac{3}{2} } }$

Explanation:

(A) Considering a uniform linear density $λ_{0}$ on the ring, then:

$dQ=\lambda dl$ (1)⇒ $Q=\lambda_{0} 2\pi R$ (2)⇒ $\lambda_{0}=\frac{Q}{2\pi R}$ (3)

Applying the technique of charge integration for finite charges:

$V(z)= 4\pi (ε_{0})\int\limits^a_b {\frac{1}{ r' }} \, dQ$ (4)

Been r' the distance between the charge and the observation point and a, b limits of integration of the charge. In this case a=2π and b=0.

Using cylindrical coordinates, the distance between a point of the Z-axis and a point of a ring with R radius is:

$r'=\sqrt{R^{2} +Z^{2}}$ (5)

Using the expressions (1),(4) and (5) you obtain:

$V(z)= 4\pi (\epsilon_{0})\int\limits^a_b {\frac{\lambda_{0}R}{ \sqrt{R^{2} +Z^{2}} }} \, d\phi$

Integrating results:

$V(z)=\frac{Q}{4\pi (\epsilon_{0}) \sqrt{R^{2} +z^{2}} }$ (S_a)

(B) For the expression of the magnitude of the field E(z), is important to remember:

$|E| =-\nabla V$ (6)

But in this case you only work in the z variable, soo the expression (6) can be rewritten as:

$|E| =-\frac{dV(z)}{dz}$ (7)

Using expression (7) and (S_a), you get the expression of the magnitude of the field E(z):

$E(z)=\frac{QZ}{4\pi (\epsilon_{0}) (R^{2} +z^{2})^{\frac{3}{2} } }$ (S_b)
