Transcribed Image Text:Exercise 3:
A nonuniform line charge distribution in the form of a half-circle
with a radius R is given by 1=1, sin 0 (2, is a constant) as
dq
R
presented in the following figure:
1) Calculate the unit vectors (ur,ue) of the polar coordinates
system as function of the unit vectors (i, j) in the rectangular
coordinates system.

Transcribed Image Text:2) By using the direct computation method, find the differential electric field dE that is created by a
differential charge (dq=2dl) in the center 0 of the half-circle in the rectangular coordinates
system.
3) Deduce the total electrical field in the center O of the half-circle. Notice that:
1-cos(20)
sin? (0):
; sin (20)=2 sin (0)cos(0)

4) If we assume that Q represents the total charge of the half-circle, proof that the total electric field
E (0) =
is given by:
