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\%}

Write some harms of friction.
Veseljchak [2.6K]

Answer:

Friction produces unnecessary heat leading to the wastage of energy. The force of friction acts in the opposite direction of motion, so friction slows down the motion of moving objects. Forest fires are caused due to the friction between tree branches. However, friction can also cause problems in a car. Friction between moving engine parts increases their temperature and causes the parts to wear down. Friction can be both harmful and helpful, so it may be necessary to decrease or increase friction.

What property of an electromagnetic wave changes when the wave is encoded with analog information?
Licemer1 [7]

Answer:

Amplitude and Frequency

Explanation:

Analog signals are composed of continuous waves that can have any values for frequency and amplitude. These waves are smooth and curved.

Radio transmissions are a combination of two kinds of waves: audio frequency waves that represent the sounds being transmitted and radio frequency waves that "carry" the audio information. All waves have a wavelength, an amplitude and a frequency as shown in the figure. These properties of the wave allow it to be modified to carry sound information.

The two most common types of modulation used in radio are amplitude modulation (AM) and frequency modulation (FM). Frequency modulation minimizes noise and provides greater fidelity than amplitude modulation, which is the older method of broadcasting . Both AM and FM are analog transmission systems, that is, they process sounds into continuously varying patterns of electrical signals which resemble sound waves.
