Question
Let D be the annular region 2 2 , a r b where b>a> 0. Assume that D has a uniform charge distribution of coulombs per square meter. Let F be the net force on a charged particle of charge Q coulombs located at the origin (by symmetry, F acts along the x-axis). (a) Argue as in Exercise 57 to show that F = kQ /2 =/2 b r=a cos r2 r dr d (b) Compute F. F
Solution
The first step in solving 15.5 problem number 61 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: Let D be the annular region 2 2 , a r b where b>a> 0. Assume that D has a uniform charge distribution of coulombs per square meter. Let F be the net force on a charged particle of charge Q coulombs located at the origin (by symmetry, F acts along the x-axis). (a) Argue as in Exercise 57 to show that F = kQ /2 =/2 b r=a cos r2 r dr d (b) Compute F. F
From the textbook chapter Applications of Multiple Integrals you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
