Question
Consider a circular ring of radius r, uniformly charged with linear charge density $\lambda.$ Find the electric potential at a point on the axis at a distance x from the centre of the ring. Using this expression for the potential, find the electric field at this point.

Answer


Radius = r
So, $2\pi\text{r}=$ Circumference
Charge density $=\lambda$
Total charge $=2\pi\text{r}\times\lambda$
Electric potential $=\frac{\text{Kq}}{\text{r}}$
$=\frac{1}{4\pi\in_0}\times\frac{2\pi\text{r}\lambda}{\big(\text{x}^2+\text{r}2\big)^{\frac{1}{2}}}$
$=\frac{\text{r}\lambda}{2\in_0\big(\text{x}^2+\text{r}^2\big)^{\frac{1}{2}}}$

So, Electric field $=\frac{\text{V}}{\text{r}}\cos\theta$
$=\frac{\text{r}\lambda}{2\in_0\big(\text{x}^2+\text{r}^2\big)^{\frac{1}{2}}}\times\frac{\text{x}}{\big(\text{x}^2+\text{r}^2\big)^{\frac{1}{2}}}$
$=\frac{\text{r}\lambda\text{x}}{2\in_0\big(\text{x}^2+\text{r}^2\big)^{\frac{3}{2}}}$

Compute the bulk modulus of water from the following data: Initial volume = $100.0$ litre, Pressure increase = 100.0 atm ($1\ atm = 1.013 × 105 Pa$), Final volume = $100.5$ litre. Compare the bulk modulus of water with that of air (at constant temperature). Explain in simple terms why the ratio is so large.

A mass $m = 50g$ is dropped on a vertical spring of spring constant $500N/m$ from a height $h = 10cm$ as shown in figure. The mass sticks to the spring and executes simple harmonic oscillations after that. A concave mirror of focal length $12cm$ facing the mass is fixed with its principal axis coinciding with the line of motion of the mass, its pole being at a distance of $30cm$ from the free end of the spring. Find the length in which the image of the mass oscillates.

According to Stefan’s law of radiation, a black body radiates energy $\sigma=\text{T}^4$ from its unit surface area every second where T is the surface temperature of the black body and $\sigma=5.67\times10^{-8}\text{w}/\text{m}^2\text{K}^4$ is known as Stefan’s constant. A nuclear weapon may be thought of as a ball of radius $0.5m$. When detonated, it reaches temperature of 106K and can be treated as a black body.
  1. Estimate the power it radiates.
  2. If surrounding has water at $30C°$, how much water can $10\%$ of the energy produced evaporate in $1s$?
$\big[\text{s}_w=4186.0\text{J/ kgK and L}_v=22.6\times10^5\text{J/ kg}\big]$
  1. If all this energy U is in the form of radiation, corresponding momentum is $\rho=\frac{\text{U}}{\text{c}}$ How much momentum per unit time does it impart on unit area at a distance of 1km?
