Answer:

Part A:

E_{midpoint}=0

Part B:

E_{center}=2711.7558 N/C

Explanation:

Part A:

Formula of Electric Field Strength:

E=\frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon}\frac{xQ}{(x^2+R^2)^{3/2}}

Where:

x is the distance from the ring

R is the radius of the ring

\epsilon is constant permittivity of free space=8.854*10^-12 farads/meter

Q is the charge

For right Ring E at the midpoint can be calculated as:

x for right plate=25/2=12.5 cm=0.125 m

Radius=R=10/2=5 cm=0.05 m

E_{right}=\frac{1}{4\pi8.854*10^{-12}}\frac{(0.125)*(20*10^{-19})}{((0.125)^2+(0.05)^2)^{3/2}}\\E_{right}=9208.1758 N/C

For Left Ring E at the midpoint can be calculated as:

Since charge on both plates is +ve and same in magnitude, the electric field will be same for both plates.

E_{left}=\frac{1}{4\pi8.854*10^{-12}}\frac{(0.125)*(20*10^{-19})}{((0.125)^2+(0.05)^2)^{3/2}}\\E_{left}=9208.1758 N/C

Electric Field at midpoint:

Both rings have same magnitude but the direction of fields will be opposite as they have same charge on them.

E_{midpoint}=E_{left}-E_{right}\\E_{midpoint}=9208.1758-9208.1758\\E_{midpoint}=0

Part B:

At center of left ring:

Due to left ring Electric field at center is zero because x=0.

E_{left}=\frac{1}{4\pi8.854*10^{-12}}\frac{(0)*(20*10^{-19})}{((0)^2+(0.05)^2)^{3/2}}\\E_{left}=0 N/C

Due to right ring Electric field at center of left ring:

Now: x=25 cm= o.25 m (To the center of left ring)

E_{right}=\frac{1}{4\pi8.854*10^{-12}}\frac{(0.25)*(20*10^{-19})}{((0.25)^2+(0.05)^2)^{3/2}}\\E_{right}=2711.7558 N/C

Electric Field Strength at center of left ring is same as that of right ring.

E_{center}=2711.7558 N/C

A test charge of -1.4 x 10-7 coulombs experiences a force of 5.4 x 10-1 newtons. Calculate the magnitude of the electric field c
VARVARA [1.3K]

Answer:

3.86×10⁶ Newton/coulombs

Explaination:

Applying,

E = F/q....................... Equation 1

Where E = Electric Field, F  = Force, q = charge.

From the question,

Given: F = 5.4×10⁻¹ N, q = -1.4×10⁻⁷ coulombs

Substitute these values into equation 1

E = 5.4×10⁻¹/ -1.4×10⁻⁷

E = -3.86×10⁶ Newtons/coulombs

Hence the magnitude of the electric field created by the

negative test charge is 3.86×10⁶ Newton/coulombs
