Chapter 15, Problem 57

(choose chapter or problem)

According to Coulombs Law, the attractive force between two electric charges of magnitude q1 and q2 separated by a distance r is kq1q2/r2 (k is a constant). Let F be the net force on a charged particle P of charge Q coulombs located d centimeters above the center of a circular disk of radius R, with a uniform charge distribution of density coulombs per square meter (Figure 21). By symmetry, F acts in the vertical direction. (a) Let R be a small polar rectangle of size r located at distance r. Show that R exerts a force on P whose vertical component is kQd (r2 + d2)3/2 r r (b) Explain why F is equal to the following double integral, and evaluate: F = kQd 2 0 R 0 r dr d (r2 + d2)3/2 FIGUR
