- RC-2 A half ring of charge lies in the x-z plane with its center at the origin as shown to the right. There are λ coulombs per meter of charge evenly distributed along the ring, which has radius 'a'. a) Sketch on your paper figures like the figures shown to the right. On your figures show an arrow representing the electric field at the point P that is produced by source charge element dq. b) Use Coulomb's law to calculate the magnitude of the x, y and z components of the total electric field at P due to the half ring of charge. If any component is equal to zero, you may use the symmetry argument to explain why it is zero instead of doing the calculations. 3D view: ZI (C/m) X dq b View looking from point P toward the origin: Z dq 0arrow_forwardThe astronomical object 4U014 + 61 has the distinction of creating the most powerful magnetic field ever observed.This object is referred to as a “magnetar” (a subclass of pulsars),and its magnetic field is 1.3 * 1015 times greater than the Earth’smagnetic field.
