Suppose you design an apparatus in which a uniformly charged disk of radius R is to produce an electric field. The field magnitude is most important along the central perpendicular axis of the disk, at a point P at distance 2.00R from the disk (Fig, 22-57a). Cost analysis suggests that you switch to a ring of the same outer radius R but with inner radius R/2.00 (Fig. 22-57b). Assume that the ring will have the same surface charge density as the original disk. If you switch to the ring, by what percentage will you decrease the electric field magnitude at P?

Each ring has charge that is uniformly distrib- uted along its circumference. The rings each produce electric fields at points along the line. For three situations, the charges on rings A and B are, respectively, (1) qo and 9o, (2) -90 and -90, and (3) - and qo. Rank the situations according to the magnitude of the net electric field at (a) point P1 midway between the rings, (b) point P, at the center of ring B, and (c) point P3 to the right of ring B. greatest first.
