Question
The charge density (l1 <z <l2) for a uniformly finite linear load distribution on the z-axis is known as ρl = constant[C / m]
Calculate the potential function using the relationship between E and V as an infinite long line (l1 → −∞, l2 → ∞). (We call this the logarithmic potential.) Find the electrostatic field vector with the help of Gauss's formula.

The 2D charge density varies with radius r by η(r)=Cr 4 for Ri ≤ r ≤ Roand η=0 for all other r. C is a constant. Answer the following in terms of the variables given above. Note: Gauss' Law will not be useful here.a) Find an expression for C such that the total charge of the annulus is Q. Include the SI units for C next to your answer.Do the units make sense?b) Draw a clear picture and use it to set up the integral to calculate the E-field at a point on the axis of the annulus (this axis is perpendicular to the plane of the annulus) a distance z from the center of the annulus. *** You must complete all the steps short of computing the integral (i.e. your eventual answer must be an integral with only ONE variable of integration and all other variables constant.) Show that your answer has the correct SI units for the electric field.arrow_forward
