You are part of a design team assigned the task of making an electronic oscillator that will be the timing mechanism of a micro-

machine. You start by trying to understand a simple model which is an electron moving along an axis through the center and perpendicular to the plane of a thin positively charged ring. You need to determine how the oscillation frequency of the electron depends on the size and charge of the ring for displacements of the electron from the center of the ring along the axis that are very small compared to the size of the ring. A team member suggests that you first determine the acceleration of the electron along the axis as a function of the size and charge of the ring and then use that expression to determine the oscillation frequency of the electron for small oscillations.Express your answer for the oscillation frequency in terms of the mass (m) and charge (e) of the electron, the charge (q) and radius (r) of the ring, and Coulomb's constant (k). (All letters are lowercase, remember that "e" is a positive constant.)

Solution :

We assume that there is a ring having a charge +Q and radius r. Electric field due to the ring at a point P on the axis is given by :

E_P=\int dE \cos

E_P=\int \frac{KdQ}{(\sqrt{r^2+x^2})^2}\times \frac{x}{\sqrt{r^2+x^2}}

\vec{E_P}=\frac{Kx}{r^2+x^2} \int dQ

\vec{E_P}=\frac{KxQ}{(r^2+x^2)^{3/2}} \hat{i}

If we put an electron on point P, then force on point e is :

\vec{F}=-|e|\vec{E_P}

F= \frac{-eKQx}{(r^2+x^2)^{3/2}}= \frac{-eKQx}{r^3[1+\frac{x^2}{r^2}]^{3/2}}

If r >> x , then    $\frac{x^2}{r^2} \approx 0$

Then,  $\frac{-eKQ}{r^3}x$

$ma =\frac{-eKQ}{r^3}x$

$a =\frac{-eKQ}{mr^3}x$

Compare, a = -ω²x

We get,

$\omega^2 = \frac{eKQ}{R^3m}$

$\omega = \sqrt{\frac{eKQ}{r^3m}}$

$2 \pi f = \sqrt{\frac{eKQ}{r^3m}}$

$f = \frac{1}{2 \pi}\sqrt{\frac{eKQ}{mr^3}}$

As a boy, Sir Isaac Newton was fascinated by a Windmill.

A drawing of a Windmill, which many believe to have been sketched by the young Newton over three an half centuries ago was discovered in his childhood home on a wall.

Which of these statements best describes an effect of changes in Earth's magnetic field?
Sveta_85 [38]
The only statement that makes sense as to which one describes an effect of changes in Earth's magnetic field is the first one - <span>Southern lights are seen at high altitude places like Alaska.
Normally, Southern lights are seen around the South Pole, which means that it is quite odd for them to be seen in Alaska, which is near the North Pole.</span>

A piano tuner is using a 392 Hz tuning fork to tune the wire for a G-Natural note. She hears 4 beats per second. What are the tw
inysia [295]

A beat is an interference pattern between two sounds of slightly different frequencies, perceived as a periodic variation in volume whose rate is the difference of the two frequencies. Frequency beat is equal to,

f_{beat} =| f_2\pm f_1 |

The reference frequency in our case would be 392Hz, and since there is the possibility of the upper and lower range for the amount of beats per second that the two possible frequencies are heard would be

f_{beat} =|392+4|= 396Hz

f_{beat} =|392-4|=388Hz

Therefore the two possible frequencies the piano wire is vibrating at, would be 396Hz and 388Hz
