Explanation:
You assume that the rings are in the zy plane but in different positions.
Furthermore, you can consider that the origin of coordinates is at the midway between the rings.
A) In order to calculate the magnitude of the electric field at the middle of the rings, you take into account that the electric field produced by each ring at the origin is opposite to each other and parallel to the x axis.
You use the following formula for the electric field produced by a charge ring at a perpendicular distance of r:
(1)
k: Coulomb's constant = 8.98*10^9Nm^2/C
Q: charge of the ring
r: perpendicular distance to the center of the ring
R: radius of the ring
You use the equation (1) to calculate the net electric field at the midpoint between the rings:
The electric field produced by each ring has the same magnitude but opposite direction, then, the net electric field is zero.
B) The direction of the electric field is 0^i + 0^j
C) The magnitude of the force on a proton at the midpoint between the rings is:
D) The direction of the force is 0^i + 0^j
