Answer:
A) E(r) = 1.3957 × 10^(5) N/C
B) E(r) = 9.8864 × 10⁴ N/C
C) E(r) = 1.13 × 10^(5) N/C
Explanation:
We are given;
q = 6 nc = 6 × 10^(-9) C
L = 10 cm = 0.1 m
d = 4.4 cm = 0.044 m
r1 = 1 cm = 0.01 m
r2 = 2 cm = 0.02 m
r3 = 3 cm = 0.03 m
Formula for the electric field strength in this question is given as;
E(r) = q/(2π(ε_o)rL) + q/(2π(ε_o)(d - r)L)
When factorized, we have;
E(r) = q/(2π(ε_o)L) × [(1/r) + (1/(d - r))]
Plugging in the relevant values for q/(2π(ε_o)L)
We know that (ε_o) has a constant value of 8.854 × 10^(−12) C²/N².m
Thus; q/(2π(ε_o)L) = (6 × 10^(-9))/(2π(8.854 × 10^(−12)0.1) = 1078.53
Thus;
E(r) = 1078.52 [1/r + 1/(d - r)]
A) E1 is at r = 1 cm = 0.01m
Thus;
E(r) = 1078.52 (1/0.01 + (1/(0.044 - 0.01))
E(r) = 1.3957 × 10^(5) N/C
B) E2 is at r = 2 cm = 0.02 m
Thus;
E(r) = 1078.52 (1/0.02 + (1/(0.044 - 0.02))
E(r) = 9.8864 × 10⁴ N/C
C) E2 is at r = 3 cm = 0.03 m
Thus;
E(r) = 1078.52 (1/0.03 + (1/(0.044 - 0.03))
E(r) = 1.13 × 10^(5) N/C
