1. Two 10-cm-diameter charged rings face each other, 19.0 cm apart. Both rings are charged to + 50.0 nC. What is the electric field strength:
At the midpoint between the two rings? At the center of the left ring?
2. E = q/4pi*ep_o*r^2
3. The online problem says this is from a certain chapter in our book... that chapter (which we've read) is about point charges. Am I able to treat these things as point charges? I would think not given the small distances being considered... so think maybe it's a typo. Anyways, could someone outline the strategy for this type of problem?
