a) E_{z} = 0, b) E_{z} = 0, c) z = 1.73 [1 + $\sqrt{1 - \frac{4R^2}{3} }$ ], d) $E_{max}$ Emax = 9.7 10¹⁰ N / C

Explanation:

For this exercise we use the expression

E = k ∫ dq / r²

By applying this expression to our problem of a ring of radius R, with a perpendicular axis in the z direction, we can calculate the electric field for a small charge element

dE = k dq / r²

In the attachment we can see a diagram of the electric field, it is observed that the fields perpendicular to the z axis cancel and the field remains in the direction of the axis

d $E_{z}$ = dE cos φ

we substitute

E_{z} = k∫ $\frac{dq}{r^2}$ cos φ

let's write the expressions

r² = R² + z²

cos φ = z / r

we substitute in the integral, where we see that the load differential does not depend on the distance and the value of the total load is + Q

E_{z} = k $\frac{1}{ (R^2 +z^2) } \ \frac{z}{ (R^2 + z^2)^{1/2} }$ ∫ dq

E_{z} = k Q $\frac{z}{ (R2+z^2)^{3/2} }$

This is the expression for the electric field in the axis perpendicular to the ring, we analyze this expression to answer the questions

a) the magnitude of the field at z = 0

E_{z} = 0

b) the magnitude of the field for z = inf

when z »R the expression remains

E_{z} = k $\frac{z}{z^{3} }$ Q

E_{z} = k Q $\frac{1}{z^2}$

therefore when the value of z = int the field goes to E_{z} = 0

c) In value of z for which the field is maximum.

We have an extreme point when the first derivative is equal to zero

$\frac{dE_z}{dz } = k Q [ (R^2 +z^2)^{3/2} - z \ 3 \frac{z}{ (R^2 +z^2)^{1/2} } = 0$

we solve

(R² + z²)^{ 3/2} = 3 z² /(R² +z²) ^{1/2}

(R² + z²)² = 3z²

r² + z² = √3 z

z² –1.732 z + R² = 0

we solve the quadratic equation

z = [1.732 ± $\sqrt{3 - 4R^2}$ ]/ 2 = [1.73 ± 1.73 $\sqrt{ 1 - \frac{4 R^2}{3} }$ ] / 2

z = 0.865 [1 ± $\sqrt{1 - \frac{4R^2}{3} }$ ]

Therefore there are two points where the field has an extreme point one, one is a maximum and the other a minimum, as we have already determined a minimum at z = 0 the maximum point must be

z = 0.865 [1 + $\sqrt{1 - \frac{4R^2}{3} }$ ]

d) the value of Emax

z₁ = 0.865 [1+ $\sqrt{1 - \frac{4 \ 0.04^2}{3} }$ ) = 1.73 [1 + √0.99786]

z₁ = 1.729 m

z₂ = 0.865 [1 - √0.99786 ]

z₂ = 0.0011 m≈ 0

for which the field has a maximum value substituting in equation 1

$E_{max} = 9 10^9 \ 9 \ \frac{1.729}{(0.04^2 + 1.729^{3/2})}$

$E_{max}$ = 81 10⁹ $\frac{1.729}{1.4408}$

$E_{max}$ Emax = 9.7 10¹⁰ N / C

Football was the fourth deadliest sport with a fatality rate of .81 per 100,000 participants. cheerleading, which has been shown to be the most dangerous activity based on injury data, was not included in the study because it was not classified as a sport.this is my answer because it didn’t give me any sports

Protons have a positive charge and, collectively, give an element its atomic number.
