Charge of uniform density (0.30 nC/m2) is distributed over the xy plane, and charge of uniform density (−0.40 nC/m2) is distributed over the yz plane. What is the magnitude of the resulting electric field at any point not in either of the two charged planes?

Respuesta :

Answer: E = 39.54 N/C

Explanation: Electric field can be determined using surface charge density:

[tex]E = \frac{\sigma}{2\epsilon_{0}}[/tex]

where:

σ is surface charge density

[tex]\epsilon_{0}[/tex] is permitivitty of free space ([tex]\epsilon_{0} = 8.85.10^{-12}[/tex][tex]C^{2}/N.m^{2}[/tex])

Calculating resulting electric field:

[tex]E=E_{1} - E_{2}[/tex]

[tex]E = \frac{\sigma_{1}-\sigma_{2}}{2\epsilon_{0}}[/tex]

[tex]E = \frac{[0.3-(-0.4)].10^{-9}}{2.8.85.10^{-12}}[/tex]

[tex]E=0.03954.10^{3}[/tex]

E = 39.54

The resulting Electric Field at any point is 39.54N/C.

The magnitude of the resulting electric field at any point should be  28.2 N/C.

Calculation of the magnitude:

Since the Charge of uniform density (0.30 nC/m2) should be allocated over the xy plane, and charge of uniform density (−0.40 nC/m2)should be allocated over the yz plane.

So,

E1

= σ1/2ε0

= 0.30e-9/(2*8.85e-12)

= 16.949 N/C

So, direction of E1 is +z

Now

E2 = σ2/2ε0

= 0.40e-9/(2*8.85e-12)

= 22.6 N/C

So,  direction of E2 is -x

Now

E = √(E1*E1+E2*E2)

= √(16.949*16.949+22.6*22.6)

= 28.2 N/C
