Electric charge is distributed over the disk a2 + y < 20 so that the charge density at (x,y) is o(x, y) = 5 + x² + y² coulombs per square meter. Find the total charge on the disk.
Charge is uniformly distributed around a ring of radius R = 2.40 cm, and the resulting electric field magnitude E is measured along the ring’s central axis (perpendicular to the plane of the ring). At what distance from the ring’s center is E maximum?
The charge density of a non-uniformly charged sphere of radius 1.0 m is given as: For rs 1.0 m; p(r)= Po(1-4r/3) For r> 1.0 m; p(r)= 0, where r is in meters. What is the value of r in meters for which the electric field is maximum?
