Question

Transcribed Image Text:Assume that a ball of charged particles has a uniformly distributed negative charge density
except for a narrow radial tunnel through its center, from the surface on one side to the
surface on the opposite side. Also assume that we can position a proton anywhere along the
tunnel or outside the ball. Let FR be the magnitude of the electrostatic force on the proton
when it is located at the ball's surface, at radius R. As a multiple of R, how far from the surface
is there a point where the force magnitude is 0.52FR if we move the proton (a) away from the
ball and (b) into the tunnel?

- Suppose you design an apparatus in which a uniformly charged disk of radius R is to produce an electric field. The field magnitude is most important along the central perpendicular axis of the disk, at a point P at distance 2.60R from the disk (see Figure (a)). Cost analysis suggests that you switch to a ring of the same outer radius R but with inner radius R/2.60 (see Figure (b)). Assume that the ring will have the same surface charge density as the original disk. If you switch to the ring, by what part will you decrease the electric field magnitude at P?
