A ring of radius R that lies in the horizontal (xy) plane carries a charge Q uniformly
Question:
A ring of radius R that lies in the horizontal (xy) plane carries a charge Q uniformly distributed over its length. A mass m carries a charge q whose sign is opposite that of Q.
(a) What is the minimum value of |q|/m such that the mass will be in equilibrium under the action of gravity and the electrostatic force on the charge q?
(b) If |q|/m is twice what is calculated in (a), where will the mass be when it is in equilibrium?
Step by Step Answer:
a The minimum value of q m will be where the field due to the rin...View the full answer

In Physics, a force is an influence that can change the motion of an object. A force can cause an object with mass to change its velocity, i.e., to accelerate. Force can also be described intuitively as a push or a pull. A force has both magnitude and direction, making it a vector quantity. In this video, the concept of force and torque is demonstrated with the practical application of changing the flat tire of the car.
