Question

The figure shows a uniformly charged thin rod of length L = 0.509 m that has total charge Q = 2.35 mC. What is the magnitude of the electrostatic force acting on an electron positioned on the axis of the rod at a distance d = 0.401 m from the midpoint of the rod?

The figure shows a uniformly charged thin rod of length L = 0.509 m that has total charge Q = 2.35 mC. What is the magnitude of the electrostatic force acting on an electron positioned on the axis of the rod at a distance d = 0.401 m from the midpoint of the rod?

Explanation / Answer

The electrostatic force on a charge q placed at a distance 'r' along the length of rod from the nearest end of a uniformly charged rod of length L and total charge Q is given by

= 35.23* 10^(-12) N
