The correct Answer is:
To find the interaction force between a charged ring and a uniformly charged thread, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the System We have: - A thin charged wire ring of radius \( R \) with total charge \( q \). - A very long uniformly charged thread with linear charge density \( \lambda \), extending along the axis of the ring, with one end at the center of the ring. ### Step 2: Electric Field Due to the Ring The electric field \( E \) at a distance \( x \) from the center of the ring along its axis can be derived using the formula: \[ E = \frac{k \cdot q \cdot x}{(R^2 + x^2)^{3/2}} \] where \( k = \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0} \). ### Step 3: Charge Element of the Thread Consider a small element of the thread of length \( dx \) at a distance \( x \) from the center of the ring. The charge on this small element is given by: \[ dq = \lambda \cdot dx \] ### Step 4: Force on the Charge Element The force \( dF \) acting on this small charge element \( dq \) due to the electric field \( E \) produced by the ring is: \[ dF = dq \cdot E = \lambda \cdot dx \cdot \frac{k \cdot q \cdot x}{(R^2 + x^2)^{3/2}} \] ### Step 5: Total Force on the Thread To find the total force \( F \) acting on the thread, we integrate \( dF \) from \( x = 0 \) to \( x = \infty \): \[ F = \int_0^{\infty} dF = \int_0^{\infty} \frac{k \cdot q \cdot \lambda \cdot x \cdot dx}{(R^2 + x^2)^{3/2}} \] ### Step 6: Substituting Variables Let \( t^2 = R^2 + x^2 \), then \( 2x \, dx = 2t \, dt \) or \( x \, dx = t \, dt \). The limits change from \( x = 0 \) (where \( t = R \)) to \( x = \infty \) (where \( t = \infty \)): \[ F = \frac{k \cdot q \cdot \lambda}{4\pi\epsilon_0} \int_R^{\infty} \frac{t \, dt}{t^3} = \frac{k \cdot q \cdot \lambda}{4\pi\epsilon_0} \int_R^{\infty} \frac{1}{t^2} dt \] ### Step 7: Evaluate the Integral The integral \( \int \frac{1}{t^2} dt = -\frac{1}{t} \): \[ F = \frac{k \cdot q \cdot \lambda}{4\pi\epsilon_0} \left[-\frac{1}{t}\right]_R^{\infty} = \frac{k \cdot q \cdot \lambda}{4\pi\epsilon_0} \left(0 + \frac{1}{R}\right) \] Thus, \[ F = \frac{k \cdot q \cdot \lambda}{4\pi\epsilon_0 R} \] ### Step 8: Final Result Substituting \( k = \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0} \): \[ F = \frac{q \cdot \lambda}{4\pi\epsilon_0 R} \] This is the interaction force between the ring and the thread. ### Summary The interaction force between the charged ring and the uniformly charged thread is given by: \[ F = \frac{q \cdot \lambda}{4\pi\epsilon_0 R} \]
