Saturn's main rings are 410,000 km wide and at most 1 km thick. an electric field of 900 n c-1 is detected near them, assume this field is due to the rings carrying a uniform charge density. since the rings have a small thickness in comparison to their width, we will treat the rings as effectively being an infinite plane of charge. (a) state any limitations on our model (i. e. state if there are any problems with the claim that we can treat the rings as an infinite plane). (b) use gauss's law to find an expression for the electric field just above the rings in terms of a surface charge deqsity. be sure to carefully show your application of gauss's law. (c) calculate the surface charge density of the rings (d) if the charge density represents the density of electrons, in which direction is the electric field near the rings?

Calculate the minimum energy required to remove one proton from the nucleus 126c. this is called the proton-removal energy. (hint: find the difference between the mass of a 126c nucleus and the mass of a proton plus the mass of the nucleus formed when a proton is removed from 126c.) express your answer with the appropriate units. emin e m i n = nothing nothing request answer part b how does the proton-removal energy for 126c compare to the binding energy per nucleon for 126c, calculated using eb=(zmh+nmn−azm)c2?
