    How to calculate the charge density in an electric field

    thanks it seems like i was using the wrong equation for electric potential. i had an r2 in the denominator instead of just r

    How to calculate the charge density in an electric field

    I've been studying electric fields in class for some time and one thing is seemingly contradictory and really confuses me. The charge density ρ is related to the electric field E and the permiativity ε and the potential \Phi by the following equation ρ/ε=∇\cdotE=-∇2\Phi if we examine...
