A uniformly charged ring of radius 10.0 cm has a total charge of 75.0 mC. Find the electric field on the axis of the ring at (a)
wlad13 [49]

Answer:

(a) 6650246.305 N/C

(b) 24150268.34 N/C

(c) 6408227.848 N/C

(d) 665024.6305 N/C

Explanation:

Given:

Radius of the ring (r) = 10.0 cm = 0.10 m           [1 cm = 0.01 m]

Total charge of the ring (Q) = 75.0 μC = 75\times 10^{-6}\ \mu C    [1 μC = 10⁻⁶ C]

Electric field on the axis of the ring of radius 'r' at a distance of 'x' from the center of the ring is given as:

E_x=\dfrac{kQx}{(x^2+r^2)^\frac{3}{2}}

Plug in the given values for each point and solve.

(a)

Given:

Q=75\times 10^{-6}\ \mu C, r=0.01\ m, a=1.00\ cm=0.01\ m,k=9\times 10^{9}\ Nm^2/C^2

Electric field is given as:

E_x=\dfrac{(9\times 10^{9})(75\times 10^{-6})(0.01)}{((0.01)^2+(0.1)^2)^\frac{3}{2}}\\\\E_x=\dfrac{6750}{1.015\times 10^{-3}}\\\\E_x=6650246. 305\ N/C

(b)

Given:

Q=75\times 10^{-6}\ \mu C, r=0.01\ m, a=5.00\ cm=0.05\ m,k=9\times 10^{9}\ Nm^2/C^2

Electric field is given as:

E_x=\dfrac{(9\times 10^{9})(75\times 10^{-6})(0.05)}{((0.05)^2+(0.1)^2)^\frac{3}{2}}\\\\E_x=\dfrac{33750}{1.3975\times 10^{-3}}\\\\E_x=24150268.34\ N/C

(c)

Given:

Q=75\times 10^{-6}\ \mu C, r=0.01\ m, a=30.0\ cm=0.30\ m,k=9\times 10^{9}\ Nm^2/C^2

Electric field is given as:

E_x=\dfrac{(9\times 10^{9})(75\times 10^{-6})(0.30)}{((0.30)^2+(0.1)^2)^\frac{3}{2}}\\\\E_x=\dfrac{202500}{0.0316}\\\\E_x=6408227.848\ N/C

(d)

Given:

Q=75\times 10^{-6}\ \mu C, r=0.01\ m, a=100\ cm=1\ m,k=9\times 10^{9}\ Nm^2/C^2

Electric field is given as:

E_x=\dfrac{(9\times 10^{9})(75\times 10^{-6})(1)}{((1)^2+(0.1)^2)^\frac{3}{2}}\\\\E_x=\dfrac{675000}{1.015}\\\\E_x=665024.6305\ N/C

tangare [24]
The correct answer is letter A. 6 millimeters. <span>If an object 18 millimeters high is placed 12 millimeters from a diverging lens and the image is formed 4 millimeters in front of the lens, the height of the image is 6 millimeters.
</span>
Solution:
18 / x = 12 / 4 
12x = 72
x = 6mm

How will the motion of a falling whirligig compare to that of a falling paper ball?
kicyunya [14]

The motion of a falling whirligig is different to that of a falling paper ball due to spinning.

<h3>Type of motion performed by whirligig and falling paper ball </h3>

The motion of a falling whirligig is different from the motion of a falling paper ball because the paper ball falls on the ground without spinning while on the other hand, the whirligig falls on the ground along with spinning.

The falling whirligig performs two motion i.e. one is falling on the ground and the other is spinning during motion whereas paper ball performs one motion i.e. motion in the air towards the ground so we can conclude that the motion of a falling whirligig is different than of a falling paper ball.
