- QUESTION 3 Problem Using the method of integration, what is the electric field of a uniformly charged thin circular plate (with radius R and total charge Q) at xo distance from its center? (Consider that the surface of the plate lies in the yz plane) Solution A perfect approach to this is to first obtain the E-field produced by an infinitesimal charge component of the charge Q. There will be several approaches to do this, but the most familiar to us is to obtain a very small shape that could easily represent our circular plane. That shape would be a ring. So for a ring whose charge is q, we recall that the electric field it produces at distance x0 is given by E = (1/ )(x0q)/ 24,2) Since, the actual ring (whose charge is dg) we will be dealing with is an infinitesimal part of the circular plane, then, its infinitesimal electric field contribution is expressed as = (1/ )(x0 We wish to obtain the complete electric field contribution from the above equation, so we integrate it from 0 to R…arrow_forwardA charge of q=−9.0μC is uniformly distributed around a quarter circle of radius r=12.0cm (seefigure).

Consequently, there should be a "Gauss's law for gravity." The electric field was defined as E = Fon q/q, and we used this to find the electric field of a point charge. Using analogous reasoning, what is the gravitational field g→ of a point mass? Write your answer using the unit vector r^, but be careful with signs; the gravitational force between two "like masses" is attractive, not repulsive. Express your answer in terms of the variables M, r, unit vector r^, and the gravitational constant G. Use the 'unit vector' button to denote unit vectors in your answer. A spherical planet is discovered with mass M, radius R, and a mass density that varies with radius as ρ=ρ0(1−r/2R), where ρ0 is the density at the center. Determine ρ0 in terms of M and R.
