An electron is constrained to the central axis of the ring of charge of radius R in Fig. 22-11, with z R. Show that the electrostatic force on the electron can cause it to oscillate through the ring center with an angular frequency
where q is the ring’s charge and m is the electron's mass.

The conductor, which is fixed in place, has radiusR= 0.55 m and surface charge densityσ= +12 nC/m2. If the helium nucleus is initially very far away from the conductor, then what initial speed must it be given so that it just barely avoids touching the surface of the conductor before being repelled back to infinity? Make sure to draw a voltage vs. position curve for the spherical conductor as part of your representation.arrow_forward

- L/2 0 Ay -L/2 02 a α1 T P ΔΕ (Qdy/L) p² ΔΕ, Z Consider a uniformly charged thin rod with total charge Q and length L. It is aligned along the y-axis and centered at the origin (see fig 8-3hw). We wish to determine the field at P due to the charges on the rod. Because the rod is centered at the origin, symmetry tells us the electric field at P must point in the direction. Based on the differ- ential form dEr = k sin a, determine the integrated expression for E, at P. {Hint: use the math identity dy/p² = da/r. This identity can be derived using the geo- metric relation tan a = r/(−y) (1), and the calculus identity d tan a/da = sec² a = =p²/y² (2).} 1.
