Consider a circular loop that is uniformly charged and has a radius \(\mathrm{a} \sqrt{2}\). Find the position along the positive z -axis of the cartesian coordinate system where the electric field is maximum if the ring was assumed to be placed in xy-plane at the origin :
Pick an option to check your answer.
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(C) a
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
\(\begin{aligned} & \mathrm{E}=\frac{\mathrm{KQr}}{\left(\mathrm{x}^2+\mathrm{R}^2\right)^{3 / 2}} \\ & \frac{\mathrm{dE}}{\mathrm{dx}}=0 \\ & \therefore \mathrm{x}=\frac{\mathrm{R}}{\sqrt{2}}=\frac{\sqrt{2} \mathrm{a}}{\sqrt{2}}=\mathrm{a}\end{aligned}\)
