A uniform charge of is distributed over a circular ring having a radius of . The ring is rotating about its axis with an angular velocity of . Determine the ratio of the electric field to the magnetic field at a point located on the axis at a distance of from the centre.
Options
- A
- B
- C
- D
Correct answer
C.
Step-by-step solution
The electric field at a distance on the axis of a uniformly charged ring is given by:
