A 10-cm-long thin glass rod uniformly charged to +10 nC and a 10-cm-long thin plastic rod uniformly charged to −10 nC are placed side by side, 4.0 cm apart. What are the electric field strengths E1 to E3 at distances 1.0 cm, 2.0 cm, and 3.0 cm from the glass rod along the line connecting the midpoints of the two rods?

Understand the problem: We are tasked with calculating the electric field strengths at three specific points along the line connecting the midpoints of two uniformly charged rods. The rods are oppositely charged, and the electric field at each point will be the vector sum of the contributions from both rods.
Step 1: Use the formula for the electric field due to a uniformly charged rod at a point along its perpendicular bisector. The electric field magnitude at a distance \( r \) from the midpoint of a uniformly charged rod of length \( L \) and linear charge density \( \lambda \) is given by: \( E = \frac{1}{4 \pi \epsilon_0} \cdot \frac{2 \lambda}{r \sqrt{r^2 + (L/2)^2}} \). Here, \( \lambda = \frac{Q}{L} \), where \( Q \) is the total charge on the rod.
Step 2: Calculate the linear charge density \( \lambda \) for both rods. For the glass rod, \( \lambda_{glass} = \frac{+10 \times 10^{-9} \text{ C}}{0.1 \text{ m}} \). For the plastic rod, \( \lambda_{plastic} = \frac{-10 \times 10^{-9} \text{ C}}{0.1 \text{ m}} \). These values will be used in the electric field formula.
Step 3: Determine the electric field contributions from each rod at the specified distances (1.0 cm, 2.0 cm, and 3.0 cm) from the glass rod. For each distance, calculate the electric field due to the glass rod using the formula in Step 1. Then calculate the electric field due to the plastic rod, which is located 4.0 cm away from the glass rod. The distance from the plastic rod to the point of interest will be \( r_{plastic} = 4.0 \text{ cm} - r_{glass} \).
Step 4: Add the electric field contributions from both rods as vectors. Since the rods are oppositely charged, their electric fields will point in opposite directions along the line connecting their midpoints. Use vector addition to find the net electric field at each point. The net electric field is \( E_{net} = E_{glass} - E_{plastic} \), where the direction of each field is taken into account.

Electric Field

The electric field is a vector field that represents the force exerted by an electric charge on other charges in its vicinity. It is defined as the force per unit charge and is measured in newtons per coulomb (N/C). The direction of the electric field is away from positive charges and towards negative charges, influencing how other charges will move in the field.

Intro to Electric Fields

Superposition Principle

The superposition principle states that the total electric field created by multiple charges is the vector sum of the electric fields produced by each charge individually. This principle allows us to analyze complex charge configurations by calculating the electric field contributions from each charge separately and then combining them to find the resultant field at a given point.

Coulomb's Law

Coulomb's Law describes the force between two point charges and is fundamental in calculating electric fields. It states that the electric force between two charges is directly proportional to the product of the magnitudes of the charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. This law is essential for determining the electric field strength generated by charged objects.
