Question

A thin nonconducting rod with a uniform distribution of positive charge Q is bent into a circle of radius R (see the figure). The central perpendicular axis through the ring is a z axis, with the origin at the center of the ring. What is the magnitude of the electric field due to the rod at (a) z = 0 and (b) z = ∞? (c) In terms of R, at what positive value of z is that magnitude maximum? (d) If R = 2.02 cm and Q = 4.30 μC, what is the maximum magnitude?

          A thin nonconducting rod with a uniform distribution of positive
charge Q is bent into a circle of radius R (see the figure). The
central perpendicular axis through the ring is a z axis, with the
origin at the center of the ring. What is the magnitude of the
electric field due to the rod at (a) z = 0 and (b) z = ∞? (c) In
terms of R, at what positive value of z is that magnitude maximum?
(d) If R = 2.02 cm and Q = 4.30 μC, what is the maximum
magnitude?
