Two identical circular loops 1 and 2 of radius R each have linear charge densities −λ and +λ C/m respectively. The loops are placed coaxially with their centres `Rsqrt3` distance apart. Find the magnitude and direction of the net electric field at the centre of loop 1.
उत्तर
Magnitude of electric field at any point on the axis of a uniformly charged loop is given by,
`E=λ/(2∈_0) (rR)/(r^2+R^2)^(3/2) .....(i)`
where
R = Radius of the loop
r = Position of the point from the centre of the loop
λ = Linear charge density of the loop
Electric field at the centre of loop 1 due to charge present on it is zero. [ From (i), when r = 0 ]
`| vecE_1 | = 0 (As Z = 0)`
Electric field at a point outside the loop 2 on the axis passing normally is
`|vecE_2| = [lambdaR]/(2ε_0) . [Z]/[R^2 + Z^2]^(3/2)`
Since, Z = `Rsqrt3`
= `[lambdaR]/(2ε_0) . [Rsqrt3]/[(R^2 + 3R^2)^(3/2)]`
= `[lambdasqrt3]/[16ε_0R]` twowards right (As λ is positive)
So, net electric field at the centre of loop 1
`vecE = vecE_1 + vecE_2`
= 0 + `[lambdasqrt3]/[16ε_0R] = [lambdasqrt3]/[16ε_0R]`
This is the net electric field at the centre of loop 1 due to the charge on both the loops. The direction of this net field is from loop 2 to loop 1 as shown in the above figure.

The radius of a gold nucleus (Z = 79) is about 7.0 × 10-10 m. Assume that the positive charge is distributed uniformly throughout the nuclear volume. Find the strength of the electric field at (a) the surface of the nucleus and (b) at the middle point of a radius.
