Two 10-cm-diameter charged rings face each other, 15 cm apart. The left ring is charged to − 30 nC and the right ring is charged to + 30 nC.
What is the magnitude of the electric field E⃗ at the midpoint between the two rings?
What is the direction of the electric field E⃗ at the midpoint between the two rings?
What is the magnitude of the force on a proton at the midpoint?
Here, we shall be using the following expression for electric field E
where, q represents the charge and r is the separation between
the charged ring and the point where field E needs to be
calculated. We are assuming that the ring is uniformly charged so
charge can be considered to be present at the center of the ring.
