    Calculating the Electric field at a point due to a ring of charge

    Just apply Gauss's law and you're ready to go. The scenario you described corresponds to a closed surface. Therefore, you need the area of the circle, not it's perimeter.

    Pursuing Physics Degree: Antimatter, Gravitational Fields & Math

    Ok, if that's what you want. All I can do is recommend some books so you get the basics and the proceed to more advanced stuff, like creating the antimatter you desire: For the math, you'll need to learn calculus, algebra, probability, statistics and geometry. There are too many books...

    Understanding Complex Numbers and Their Geometric Representation

    Does the order of resolution matter? If not, do the graphic first. z will be in the fourth quadrant with coordinates (1, -i) e^(iz)=e^[i(1-i)]=e.e^i edit: Think of e as the radius r.

    Is it good to study math first and then physics?

    I'm currently on the 3rd year of my Physics degree and can I honestly say, I should have taken mathematics first. It may just be because of teaching method of my university, but the teachers give a lot more importance to the mathematics part than the comprehension of the physical phenomenon.
