RPHO

The document discusses the electric field generated by a positively charged non-conducting ring and a uniformly charged sphere. It poses two questions regarding the limits of the electric field on the sphere's surface and the conditions under which the field direction aligns with the axis of symmetry. The analysis assumes the approximation where the sphere's radius is much smaller than the ring's dimensions.

A positive charge with a constant surface density σ is distributed over the surface of a thin flat

non-conducting ring with inner and outer radii r1, r2 respectively. The centre of the non-
conducting sphere with radius R, coincides with the centre of the ring. The sphere is uniformly
charged by volume with a positive charge Q .

Note: The answers to each of the questions in the problem must be simplified taking into
account the approximation R << r1,r2 .

1. Within what limits does the modulus of the electric field on the surface of a sphere change
2. At what values of σ can the vector of the resulting field strength at points on the surface of
the sphere, located at a distance greater than 0.1 R from the plane of the ring, be considered
to be directed along the axis of symmetry of the system?
Consider the charge Q to be known.
