- A conducting rod carrying a total charge of +9.00 C is bent into a semicircle of radius R = 33.0 cm, with its center of curvature at the origin (Fig.P24.75). The charge density along the rod is given by = 0 sin , where is measured clockwise from the +x axis. What is the magnitude of the electric force on a 1.00-C charged particle placed at the origin?arrow_forwardIn Figure P24.49, a charged particle of mass m = 4.00 g and charge q = 0.250 C is suspended in static equilibrium at the end of an insulating thread that hangs from a very long, charged, thin rod. The thread is 12.0 cm long and makes an angle of 35.0 with the vertical. Determine the linear charge density of the rod.
