4 questions regarding electric field

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around solving electric field-related homework questions, specifically focusing on questions 9, 10, 12, and 14. Participants mention using the formula for the electric field at the center of a circular arc, emphasizing the importance of understanding the underlying calculus rather than just memorizing formulas. There is a request for a worksheet upload, which is denied due to forum rules against sharing complete solutions. Users are encouraged to familiarize themselves with the forum's guidelines to avoid warnings. The conversation highlights the challenges of applying concepts to complex charge distributions.

vf=vi+at

The Attempt at a Solution



I only have idea on question 14 but it's wrong. For others I don't , I can only do simple one like if all the charge in x axis

Question 14:
qE=ma
qE/m=a = 20
vf=vi+at
=50+20(2)
=90

*I've been told that all of the answers for the questions is A

for Q9 we can use formulae for Electric Field at centre of a circular arc

E = (kq/r) * r*(sin(alpha))/alpha

where alpha is half the angle of arc. In this case alpha= 45
 
and Q10 is same as Q9
 
answer of Q12 :A

I don't get it. tried but it gave 3.53

I can do if the point of charge is in y but now if it's in 2 side x and y, can you show me the way?

what about question 14?
 
Dont just mug up the formula. its easier to find it by simple calculus

consider two element dx at angle θ from central element.
their field's sin components will cancell out and thus only cos will remain.
now just integrate.

i just uploaded it but they removed it because i solved the whole question. We can't provide whole solution as per rules of PF. I just read all the rules. And i am not going to break more rules because i already have received a warning. We can only help you solve it.

You should also read the rules https://www.physicsforums.com/showthread.php?t=414380 as you also new to this website.
