Consider a circular loop that is uniformly charged and has a radius $R = a \sqrt{2}$. Find the position along the positive $z$-axis of the Cartesian coordinate system where the electric field is maximum,assuming the ring is placed in the $xy$-plane at the origin.

  • A
    $\frac{a}{\sqrt{2}}$
  • B
    $\frac{a}{2}$
  • C
    $a$
  • D
    $0$

An observer at rest experiences an electric field due to a static charge. Later,he starts moving away from it. What does the observer experience?

Assertion: For a non-uniformly charged thin circular ring with net charge $0$,the electric field at any point on the axis of the ring is zero.
Reason: For a non-uniformly charged thin circular ring with net charge $0$,the electric potential at each point on the axis of the ring is zero.

Why is an electric force conservative?

Four point positive charges of same magnitude $(Q)$ are placed at four corners of a rigid square frame of side $L$ as shown in the figure. The plane of the frame is perpendicular to the $Z$-axis. If a negative point charge $(-q)$ is placed at a small distance $z$ away from the center of the frame along the $Z$-axis $(z < < L)$, then:

Two charges $9e$ and $3e$ are placed at a distance $r$ from each other. At what distance from the $9e$ charge will the electric field be zero?
