Suppose you design an apparatus in which a uniformly charged disk of radius R is to produce an electric field. The field magnitu

de is most important along the central perpendicular axis of the disk, at a point P at distance 2.00R from the disk. Cost analysis suggests that you switch to a ring of the same outer radius R but with inner radius R/2.00 . Assume that the ring will have the same surface charge density as the original disk. If you switch to the ring, by what percentage will you decrease the electric field magnitude at P?

Answer:

The electric field will be decreased by 29%

Explanation:

The distance between point P from the distance z = 2.0 R

Inner radius = R/2

Outer raidus = R

Thus;

The electrical field due to disk is:

\hat {K_a} = \dfrac{\sigma}{2 \varepsilon _o} \Big( 1 - \dfrac{z}{\sqrt{z^2+R_i^2}} \Big))

\implies \dfrac{\sigma}{2 \vaepsilon _o} \Big ( 1 - \dfrac{2.0 \ R}{\sqrt{ (2.0\ R)^2+(R)^2}} \Big)

Similarly;

\hat {K_b} = \hat {k_a} - \dfrac{\sigma}{2 \varepsilon_o} \Big( 1 - \dfrac{2.0 \ R}{\sqrt{(2.0 \ r)^2 + (\dfrac{R}{2}^2)}}\Big)

However; the relative difference is: \dfrac{\hat {k_a} - \hat {k_b}}{\hat {k_a} }= \dfrac{E_a -E_a + \dfrac{\sigma}{2 \varepsilon_o  \Big[1 - \dfrac{2.0 \ R}{\sqrt{(2.0 \ R)^2 + (\dfrac{R}{2})^2}} \Big] } } { \dfrac{\sigma}{2 \varepsilon_o \Big [ 1 - \dfrac{2.0 \ R}{\sqrt{ (2.0 \ R)^2 + (R)^2}} \Big] }}

\dfrac{\hat {k_a} - \hat {k_b}}{\hat {k_a} }= \dfrac{1 - \dfrac{2.0}{\sqrt{(2.0)^2 + \dfrac{1}{4}}} }{1 - \dfrac{2.0 }{\sqrt{(2.0)^2 + 1}}}

= 0.2828 \\ \\ \mathbf{\simeq  29\%}

How many times farther is Proxima Centauri from the sun than is earth from the sun
Aleks04 [339]

Answer:

Of the three stars in the system, the dimmest - called Proxima Centauri - is actually the nearest star to the Sun. The two bright stars, called Alpha Centauri A and B form a close binary system; they are separated by only 23 times the Earth - Sun distance.

A spaceship travels 360km in one hour. Express its speed in m/s
creativ13 [48]

Answer:

Spaceship speed is 36000 km/h

So, in 1 hour spaceship travel 36000 km

Or we can say that in 60×60 second spaceship travel 36000 km

Therefore in 1 sec spaceship travel

=

= 10 km/s
