A ring shaped conductor with radius a carries a net positive charge q uniformly distributed on it as shown in figure. A point P is situated at a distance x from its centre. Which of following graph shows the correct variation of electric field (E) wilth distance (x)?

Answer»




None of these

Solution :(c) The net electric field at point `P` is GIVEN by
`E=(qx)/(4pi epsilon_(0)(X^(2)+a^(2))^(3//2)HATI`
`:.` At the centre of ring `x=0=0E_(0)`
If `x gt gt a, E=1/(4pi epsilon_(0))q/(x^(2))`

and `E` will be maximum where,
`(dE)/(dx)=0` or `x=+-a/(sqrt(2))`
and `E_("max")=1/(4piepsilon_(0)(2q)/(3sqrt(3)a^(2))`
