A thin metallic wire having cross sectional area of 10−4m2{10}^{- 4}{m}^{2} is used to make a ring of radius 30cm30cm. A positive charge of 2\piC2\piC is uniformly distributed over the ring, while another positive charge of 30pC30pC is kept at the centre of the ring. The tension in the ring is _______N; provided that the ring does not get deformed (neglect the influence of gravity).

(Given, 14πϵ0=9×109\dfrac{1}{4\pi{ϵ}_{0}} = 9 \times {10}^{9} SI units)

A thin metallic wire having cross sectional area of 10 ^ - 4 m ^ 2 is used to make a ring of radius 30cm . A positive

Correct answer

0

Step-by-step solution

A thin metallic wire having cross sectional area of 10 ^ - 4 m ^ 2 is used to make a ring of radius 30cm . A positive

The linear charge density of the ring is given by

λ=Q2\piR...(1)\lambda = \dfrac{Q}{2\piR} . . . \left(1\right)

With reference to the above diagram, for the equilibrium condition of the ring, it can be written that

2Tsin(dθ2)=14πε0q0R2⋅[λ(Rdθ)]2Tsin\left(\dfrac{d\theta}{2}\right) = \dfrac{1}{4\pi{ε}_{0}}\dfrac{{q}_{0}}{{R}^{2}} \cdot \left[\lambda\left(Rd\theta\right)\right]

⇒T=14πε0q0Q(R2)×2π⇒ T = \dfrac{1}{4\pi{ε}_{0}}\dfrac{{q}_{0}Q}{\left({R}^{2}\right) \times 2\pi} [As for very small angles sin⁡(dθ2)=dθ2\sin \left(\dfrac{d\theta}{2}\right) = \dfrac{d\theta}{2}]

=(9×109)(2π×30×10−12)(0.30)2×2π= \dfrac{\left(9 \times {10}^{9}\right)\left(2\pi \times 30 \times {10}^{- 12}\right)}{( 0 . 30{)}^{2} \times 2\pi}

=9×10−3×309×10−2=3N= \dfrac{9 \times {10}^{- 3} \times 30}{9 \times {10}^{- 2}} = 3N
