Chapter 21, Problem 21.94

(choose chapter or problem)

Positive charge Q is distributed uniformly around a very thin conducting ring of radius a, as in Fig. 21.23. You measure the electric field E at points on the ring axis, at a distance x from the center of the ring, over a wide range of values of x. (a) Your results for the larger values of x are plotted in Fig. P21.94a as Ex2 versus x. Explain why the quantity Ex2 approaches a constant value as x increases. Use Fig. P21.94a to calculate the net charge Q on the ring. (b) Your results for smaller values of x are plotted in Fig. P21.94b as E>x versus x. Explain why E>x approaches a constant value as x approaches zero. Use Fig. P21.94b to calculate a.
