Answer;

B. Fluorescent lamps operate at a higher temperature than incandescent lamps.

Explanation;

-A fluorescent lamp, is a type of electric light (lamp) that uses ultraviolet emitted by mercury vapor to excite a phosphor, which emits visible light.

-A fluorescent lamp produces less heat, thus, it is much more efficient. A fluorescent bulb can produce between 50 and 100 lumens per watt. This makes fluorescent bulbs four to six times more efficient than incandescent bulbs.

-Fluorescent lamps operate best around room temperature. At much lower or higher temperatures, efficacy decreases.

At what distance along the z-axis is the electric field strength a maximum?

Lesechka [4]

The axial field is the integration of the field from each element of charge around the ring. Because of symmetry, the field is only in the direction of the axis. The field from an element ds in the ring is

dE = (qs*ds)cos(T)/(4*pi*e0)*(x^2 + R^2) 

where x is the distance along the axis from the plane of the ring, R is the radius of the ring, qs is the linear charge density, T is the angle of the field from the x-axis. 

However, cos(T) = x/sqrt(x^2 + R^2) 

so the equation becomes 

dE = (qs*ds)*[x/sqrt(x^2 + R^2)]/(4*pi*e0)*(x^2 + R^2) 

dE =[qs*ds/(4*pi*e0)]*x/(x^2 + R^2)^1.5 

Integrating around the ring you get 

E = (2*pi*R/4*pi*e0)*x/(x^2 + R^2)^1.5 

E = (R/2*e0)*x*(x^2 + R^2)^-1.5 

we differentiate wrt x, the term R/2*e0 is a constant K, and the derivative is 

dE/dx = K*{(x^2 + R^2)^-1.5 +x*[(-1.5)*(x^2 + R^2)^-2.5]*2x} 

dE/dx = K*{(x^2 + R^2)^-1.5 - 3*x^2*(x^2 + R^2)^-2.5} 

to find the maxima set this = 0, giving 

(x^2 + R^2)^-1.5 - 3*x^2*(x^2 + R^2)^-2.5 = 0 

mult both side by (x^2 + R^2)^2.5 to get 

(x^2 + R^2) - 3*x^2 = 0 

-2*x^2 + R^2 = 0 

-2*x^2 = -R^2 

x = (+/-)R/sqrt(2)
