Charge is uniformly distributed around a ring of radius R and the resulting electric field magnitude E is measured along the rin

g's central axis (perpendicular to the plane of the ring). At what distance from the ring's center is E maximum? (Use any variable or symbol stated above as necessary.)

Answer:

x=\dfrac{r}{\sqrt2}

Explanation:

Given that

Radius =r

Electric filed =E

Q=Charge on the ring

The electric filed at distance x given as

E=K\dfrac{Q}{(r^2+x^2)^{3/2}}

For maximum condition

\dfrac{dE}{dx}=0

E=K{Q}{(r^2+x^2)^{-3/2}}

\dfrac{dE}{dx}=K{Q}{(r^2+x^2)^{-3/2}}-\dfrac{3}{2}\times 2\times x\times K{Q}{(r^2+x^2)^{-5/2}}

For maximum condition

\dfrac{dE}{dx}=0

K{Q}{(r^2+x^2)^{-3/2}}-\dfrac{3}{2}\times 2\times x\times K{Q}{(r^2+x^2)^{-5/2}}=0

r^2+x^2-3x^2=0

x=\dfrac{r}{\sqrt2}

At x=\dfrac{r}{\sqrt2} the electric field will be maximum.

What would happen to the wavelength if the frequency was doubled?
ira [324]

Answer:

λ = hv

If frequency is doubled :

λ = h × 2v

λ = 2hv

Thus wavelength is doubled

Two mechanical waves that have positive displacements from the equilibrium position meet and coincide. What kind of
erica [24]

When two mechanical waves that have positive displacements from the equilibrium position meet and coincide, a constructive interference occurs.

Option A

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

Considering the principle of superposition of waves; the resultant amplitude of an output wave due to interference of two or more waves at any point is given by individual addition of their amplitudes at that point. Two waves with positive displacements refer to the fact that crest of the both the waves are on the same side of displacement axis, either both are positive or both are negative, similarly with their troughs.

If such two waves with their crest on crest meet at any point, by superposition principle. their individual amplitude gets added up and hence the resultant wave after interference is greater in amplitude that both the individual waves. This is termed as a constructive interference. Destructive interference on the other hand is a condition when one of the two waves has a positive displacement and other has a negative displacement (a condition of one’s crest on other’s trough); resulting in amplitude subtraction.

Why does a force perpendicular to an objects velocity change the direction of the velocity but not its magnitude
inna [77]

Answer:

According to your question although I think an object undergoing uniform circular motion is moving with a constant speed. Nevertheless, it is accelerating due to its change in direction. The direction of the acceleration is inwards,therefore a force perpendicular to an objects velocity change the direction of the velocity but not its magnitude.

Which terrestrial planet exhibits retrograde rotation?.
Sati [7]

Answer:

Planets that are farther from the sun than the earth (all but Mercury and Venus) will exhibit retrograde motion.

If the position of the planet is observed relative to the background stars, the planet will appear to move backward relative to the stars when the earth is moving in an Eastward direction faster than the planet, and the planet appears to move backwards relative to the stars

(The planet will be on the side of the earth that is opposite that of the sun)
