QUESTION 3 Problem Using the method of integration, what is the electric field of a uniformly charged thin circular plate (with radius R and total charge Q) at xo distance from its center? (Consider that the surface of the plate lies in the yz plane) Solution A perfect approach to this is to first obtain the E-field produced by an infinitesimal charge component of the charge Q. There will be several approaches to do this, but the most familiar to us is to obtain a very small shape that could easily represent our circular plane. That shape would be a ring. So for a ring whose charge is q, we recall that the electric field it produces at distance x0 is given by E = (1/ )(x0q)/ 24,2) Since, the actual ring (whose charge is dg) we will be dealing with is an infinitesimal part of the circular plane, then, its infinitesimal electric field contribution is expressed as = (1/ )(x0 We wish to obtain the complete electric field contribution from the above equation, so we integrate it from 0 to R…
