Chapter 5.1, Problem 1dT
Obtain an acrylic rod and a piece of wool or fur. Rub the rod with the wool, and then hold the rod near newly made T and B tapes on the wooden dowel.
Compare the interactions of the rod with the tapes to the interactions between the tapes in part C. Describe any similarities or differences.
We say that the rod and tapes are electrically charged when they interact as you have observed.

- I have parts a, b, and c answered. Please Solve Parts d and e. A particle sits at a distance z away from the center of a bar of length L with a uniformly distributed charge Q. The electric field the particle experiences is given by E = (2kQ∕z)*(1∕√(4z^2 + L^2)) where k is a constant. (For those of you familiar with the laws of electricity, k = 1∕(4??0).We are going to simplify this electric field expression for two special cases. In the first case the particle is very close to the bar.This is the case where z ≪ L, so the unitless quantity z∕L is very small.(a) We can rewrite the electric field as E =(2kQ∕zL)(1∕√(4x^2 + 1)) ,where x = z∕L. Expand this function in a Maclaurin seriesup to the second power of x. Plug x = z∕L back in to get an approximate expression for E valid when the particle is near the bar.(b) The electric field at a distance z from an infinite bar of charge is E = 2k?∕z, where ? = Q∕L is the charge per unit length on the rod. The first term that you found should be…arrow_forwardAssume a uniformly charged ring of radius R and charge Q produces an electric field E ringat a point P on its axis, at distance x away from the center of the ring as in Figure a.
