long nonconducting cylinder (radius = 12 cm) has a charge of uniform density (5.0 nC/m3) distributed throughout its volume. Determine the magnitude of the electric field 15 cm from the axis of the cylinder.

the magnitude of the electric field  = 27.1058 V/m

≈ 27 V/m

Explanation:

given

R(radius enclosed) = 12 cm = 0.12 m

ρ(charge density) = 5.0 nC/m³ = 5.0 × 10⁻⁹C/m³

r(radius from the axis) = 15 cm = 0.15 m

using Gauss law, which states that the electric flux through any closed surface is directly proportional to the total electric charge enclosed by this surface.

attached is the calculation of the question, using Gauss law of electrostatics

positive reinforcement? ?

note: the given question is incomplete.

complete question is given below.

which is an example of kinetic energy?

a. the energy stored in ethanol  

b. a hockey puck sliding across the ice  

c. a compressed spring  

d. a ball sitting at the top of a ramp

solution: the kinetic energy is the energy posses by the virtue of the motion of the object.

in the given options, a, c and d are the example of potential energy because it is the energy posses by the virtue of the rest of the object. but option b has the kinetic energy as the object is in motion.

hence, a hockey puck sliding across the ice   is the apex example of kinetic energy.

so, the option (b) a hockey puck sliding across the ice   is the correct option.
