Answer:
a) σ = [tex]\frac{Q_1}{ a^2 - b^2}[/tex] , b) σ = [tex]\frac{Q_2}{d^2}[/tex] , c) Q_ {total} = Q₁ + Q₂, σ_ {net} = [tex]\frac{Q_1 + Q_2}{\pi \ a^2}[/tex]
Explanation:
a) The very useful concept of charge density is defined by
σ = Q / A
In this case we have a circular disk
The are of a circle is
A = π r²
in this case we have a hole in the center of radius r = b, so
A_net = π r² - π r_ {hollow} ²
A_ {net} = π (a² - b²)
whereby the density is
σ = [tex]\frac{Q_1}{ a^2 - b^2}[/tex]
b) The density of the other disk is
σ = Q₂ / A₂
σ = [tex]\frac{Q_2}{d^2}[/tex]
c) The total waxed load is requested by the larger circle
Q_ {total} = Q₁ + Q₂
the net charge density, in the whole system is
σ = [tex]\frac{Q_{total} }{ A_{total} }[/tex]
the area is
A_{total} = π a²
since the other circle is inside, we are ignoring the space between the two circles
σ_ {net} = [tex]\frac{Q_1 + Q_2}{\pi \ a^2}[/tex]
