(3) The purpose of this problem is to find the electric field of a ring of charge located in
the x-
z plane and has a diameter d. The ring has a total charge Q. To accomplish this, we
will break the ring of charge into point charges. All answers should be given in terms given
parameters and the coordinate 0. The field point, P, is located at (0, yo, 0).
(a) What is the charge dq of the point charges?
(b) What is the value of î for the point charges:
(c) What are the bounds of integration to find the total electric field?
(d) If instead of a full ring, we have half of a ring, which (if any) of your answers to parts
(a) - (c) change? Which (if any) will stay the same?
(II) The l/r2 form of Coulomb's law implies the following:
(i) The electric field is zero at all points inside a uniformly
charged shell. (ii) The electric field outside a uniformly
charged sphere can be found by treating the charge as being
concentrated at the center. Use these facts to show that
within a uniformly charged sphere of radius R having a
volume charge density p C/m3, the field strength increases
linearly with the distance r from the center. That is, E ex r
for r < R.
(II) The 1/r² form of Coulomb's law implies the following:
(i) The electric field is zero at all points inside a uniformly
charged shell. (ii) The electric field outside a uniformly
charged sphere can be found by treating the charge as being
concentrated at the center. Use these facts to show that
within a uniformly charged sphere of radius R having a
volume charge density p C/m³, the field strength increases
linearly with the distance r from the center. That is, Ex r
for r < R.
