a) E_{z} = 0, b) E_{z} = 0, c) z = 1.73 [1 + $\sqrt{1 - \frac{4R^2}{3} }$ ], d) $E_{max}$ Emax = 9.7 10¹⁰ N / C

Explanation:

For this exercise we use the expression

E = k ∫ dq / r²

By applying this expression to our problem of a ring of radius R, with a perpendicular axis in the z direction, we can calculate the electric field for a small charge element

dE = k dq / r²

In the attachment we can see a diagram of the electric field, it is observed that the fields perpendicular to the z axis cancel and the field remains in the direction of the axis

d $E_{z}$ = dE cos φ

we substitute

E_{z} = k∫ $\frac{dq}{r^2}$ cos φ

let's write the expressions

r² = R² + z²

cos φ = z / r

we substitute in the integral, where we see that the load differential does not depend on the distance and the value of the total load is + Q

E_{z} = k $\frac{1}{ (R^2 +z^2) } \ \frac{z}{ (R^2 + z^2)^{1/2} }$ ∫ dq

E_{z} = k Q $\frac{z}{ (R2+z^2)^{3/2} }$

This is the expression for the electric field in the axis perpendicular to the ring, we analyze this expression to answer the questions

a) the magnitude of the field at z = 0

E_{z} = 0

b) the magnitude of the field for z = inf

when z »R the expression remains

E_{z} = k $\frac{z}{z^{3} }$ Q

E_{z} = k Q $\frac{1}{z^2}$

therefore when the value of z = int the field goes to E_{z} = 0

c) In value of z for which the field is maximum.

We have an extreme point when the first derivative is equal to zero

$\frac{dE_z}{dz } = k Q [ (R^2 +z^2)^{3/2} - z \ 3 \frac{z}{ (R^2 +z^2)^{1/2} } = 0$

we solve

(R² + z²)^{ 3/2} = 3 z² /(R² +z²) ^{1/2}

(R² + z²)² = 3z²

r² + z² = √3 z

z² –1.732 z + R² = 0

we solve the quadratic equation

z = [1.732 ± $\sqrt{3 - 4R^2}$ ]/ 2 = [1.73 ± 1.73 $\sqrt{ 1 - \frac{4 R^2}{3} }$ ] / 2

z = 0.865 [1 ± $\sqrt{1 - \frac{4R^2}{3} }$ ]

Therefore there are two points where the field has an extreme point one, one is a maximum and the other a minimum, as we have already determined a minimum at z = 0 the maximum point must be

z = 0.865 [1 + $\sqrt{1 - \frac{4R^2}{3} }$ ]

d) the value of Emax

z₁ = 0.865 [1+ $\sqrt{1 - \frac{4 \ 0.04^2}{3} }$ ) = 1.73 [1 + √0.99786]

z₁ = 1.729 m

z₂ = 0.865 [1 - √0.99786 ]

z₂ = 0.0011 m≈ 0

for which the field has a maximum value substituting in equation 1

$E_{max} = 9 10^9 \ 9 \ \frac{1.729}{(0.04^2 + 1.729^{3/2})}$

$E_{max}$ = 81 10⁹ $\frac{1.729}{1.4408}$

$E_{max}$ Emax = 9.7 10¹⁰ N / C

Arotating space station is said to create “artificial gravity”—a loosely-defined term used for an acceleration that would be crudely similar to gravity. the outer wall of the rotating space station would become a floor for the astronauts, and centripetal acceleration supplied by the floor would allow astronauts to exercise and maintain muscle and bone strength more naturally than in non-rotating space environments. if the space station is 200 m in diameter, what angular velocity would produce an “artificial gravity” of 9.80 m/s^{2} 2 at the rim?
