(a) Show that two vectors are orthogonal if the magnitude of their sum is equal to the magnitude of their difference. (b) The usual Cartesian coordinate system is said to be right-handed as the choice of coordinate axes corresponds the productˆx׈y=ˆz, which follow from the right-hand rule. Ina diagram, for instance, once the placement of two axes are chosen, the third is determined by the right-hand rule (it is not an arbitrary choice). If instead a left-handed coordinate system is desired, by what constant can the unit vectors be multiplied to yield, for instance,ˆx′׈y′=−ˆz′(where these primed unit vectors correspond to the left-handed coordinate system)? Use this product to derive the constant and corroborate your results by computingˆy′׈z′andˆz′׈x′.

Consider a uniformly charged ring in the xy plane, centered at the origin. the ring has radius a and positive charge qdistributed evenly along its circumference. a)what is the direction of the electric field at any point on the z axis? . b)what is the magnitude of the electric field along the positive z axis? use k in your answer, where k=14πϵ0. d)the ball will oscillate along the z axis between z=d and z=−d in simple harmonic motion. what will be the angular frequency ω of these oscillations? use the approximation d≪a to simplify your calculation; that is, assume that d2+a2≈a2. express your answer in terms of given charges, dimensions, and constants
