Question

The figure shows two parallel nonconducting rings with their central axes along a common line. Ring 1 has uniform charge q1 and radius R; ring 2 has uniform charge q2 and the same radius R. The rings are separated by a distance 3.00R. The ratio of the electric field magnitudes of Ring 1 and Ring 2 at point P on the common line is 2.72. What is the ratio of charge magnitudes q1/q2?

Explanation / Answer

The field along the axis of a ring at distance "x" from the center is;

E = kq/(x^2 + R^2) , (R = radius of ring)
