Two rings of radius 5 cm are 15 cm apart and concentric with a common horizontal -axis. The ring on the left carries a uniformly distributed charge of 33 nC, and the ring on the right carries a uniformly distributed charge of -33 nC. What is the magnitude and direction of the electric field on the -axis, halfway between the two rings

Explanation:

Radius of ring r = .05 m

Electric field due to a uniformly charged ring

E = k Q x  / ( x² + r² )³/²   ;  Q is charge on the ring , x is distance of point  from the center of the ring and r is radius of the ring

electric field due to first ring at middle point or at x = 7.5 cm

E = 9 x 10⁹ x 33 x 10⁻⁹ x 7.5 x 10⁻² / ( 7.5² + 5² )³/² x 10⁻³

= 9 x 10⁹ x 33 x 10⁻⁹ x 7.5  / ( 7.5² + 5² )³/² x 10⁻¹

= 9 x 10⁹ x 33 x 10⁻⁹ x 7.5 / 73.23

=  30.41 N/C

The same field will be created by the other ring at the middle point because charge on the ring is same in magnitude . Due to negative charge on the second ring , field due to both the rings will align in the same direction.

Total field = 2 x 30.41

= 60.82 N/C

the design of a ski jumping suit involves a trade-off between giving the skiers lift to get higher jumps and ensuring the skier does not face a lot of drag before the jump itself. an expansive suit may to lift the skier higher, but at the same time, it will also increase the air resistance. higher air resistance as the skier goes down the slope limits the speed of the jump. a big suit also increases the risk of losing balance or control, especially if there's a strong gust of wind. while technologically enhanced suits a lot, clothing is not the only factor in a ski jumper’s success. gathering speed while skiing down the slope, ensuring good speed on the ramp, and maintaining good body posture and form in the air all contribute to a ski jumper's success.
