Answer:
The new distance is d = 0.447 d₀
Explanation:
The electric out is given by Coulomb's Law
F = k q₁ q₂ / r²
This electric force is in balance with tension.
We reduce the charge of sphere B to 1/5 of its initial value (=q₂ = q₂ / 5) than new distance (d = n d₀)
dat
q₁ =
q₂ =
r = d₀
In order for the deviation to maintain the electric force it should not change, so we apply the Coulomb equation for the two points
F = k q₁ q₂ / d₀²
F = k q₁ (q₂ / 5) / (n d₀)²
.k q₁ q₂ / d₀² = q₁ q₂ / (5 n² d₀²)
5 n² = 1
n = √ 1/5
n = 0.447
The new distance is
d = 0.447 d₀

3.The results from part 1 and 2 agree when r = R.
Explanation:
The volume charge density is given as
We will investigate this question in two parts. First r < R, then r > R. We will show that at r = R, the solutions to both parts are equal to each other.
1. Since the cylinder is very long, Gauss’ Law can be applied.
The enclosed charge can be found by integrating the volume charge density over the inner cylinder enclosed by the imaginary Gaussian surface with radius ‘r’. The integration of E-field in the left-hand side of the Gauss’ Law is not needed, since E is constant at the chosen imaginary Gaussian surface, and the area integral is
where ‘h’ is the length of the imaginary Gaussian surface.
2. For r> R, the total charge of the enclosed cylinder is equal to the total charge of the cylinder. So,
3. At the boundary where r = R:
As can be seen from above, two E-field values are equal as predicted.
