A thin rigid insulating ring of radius and mass has a very small gap of length and carries a uniformly distributed charge . The ring is at rest in free space and a uniform electric field in the plane of the ring and parallel to the gap is switched on as shown in the figure. Find the maximum angular speed of the ring in subsequent motion.


Important Questions on Electric Charges and Fields


A charged particle (mass and charge ) moves along axis with velocity . When it passes through the origin it enters a region having uniform electric field which extends upto . Equation of path of electron in the region is:



Charges and are at points and of a right-angled triangle . The resultant electric field at point is perpendicular to the hypotenuse, then is proportional to:










A uniform electric field, is applied in a region. A charged particle of mass carrying positive charge is projected in this region with an initial speed of . This particle is aimed to hit a target , which is away from its entry point into the field as shown schematically in the figure. Take . Then



Three charged particles and with charges and are present on the circumference of a circle of radius The charged particles and centre of the circle formed an equilateral triangle as shown in the figure. The electric field at the point is
