This equation is for the electric field of a uniform ring which is charged and is at point z which is perpendicular to the center of the ring. (it means z=0 is part of the plane in which the ring is in).
R=radius of ring, Q= total charge of ring, k= coulomb's constant.
If k=1 units, Q=1 units, R=8 units, what is Ering, z when z=6 units?
Consider a hollow sphere of radii h and 3h, interior and exterior respectively. The charge density on the sphere is ρ=ar, C/m3, where a is a positive constant, and r is the distance from the center of the sphere to an arbitrary point inside the sphere. A point charge with charge Q, of magnitude −16πah4 C, is located at the center of the sphere. Find the electric field, Eux, of the distribution, sphere and point charge, at a point (P), on the x-axis, located at a distance of 2h, measured with respect to the center of the sphere. In this case consider that ah2= 4.
Use k=9×109, ux unit vector in the x-direction, π=3.14
A point charge Q sits at the center of a hollow conducting sphere with a concentric surfaces of inside radius a and outside radius b. If the conductor is given a net charge q, then what are the surface charge densities σ (Q/A) at both surfaces of the conductor, at radius a and radius b?
