well i asked my teacher today and he said that would have to assume a non-conducting sphere, (was told by classmate that he said conducting ha). So he suggested the same thing as you to find the E-field due to a coin shape of charge. Which I have, and then assume the sphere is composed of...
Ok so it would only be a double integral and not a triple integral right? because it would just be the area and the volume would not be taken into account.
Problem statement: find th electric field of a sphere of radius R and charge Q outside the sphere. Do this using BOTH a gauss's law and coulomb integral.
I have done the gaussian one, which was pretty easy. I just can't figure out the coulomb integral.
No i have not used spherical...
Homework Statement
Find the electric field of a sphere of radius R and charge Q outside sphere. Use only a Coulomb integral to do this.
Homework Equations
I know that I have to use a triple integral to find the E-field. I am just unsure of my whole setup really.
