Yes, but the charge source vector is not measure respect the hole. The picture attached "might" help to make clear the narrative of the problem. I found the solution via power expansion. Nevertheless, I am still curios on why direct integration does not seem to work here (there is a divergence...

It is not a fix lower limit. It is a spherical hole.

Homework Statement Using direct integration, compute the electric field at the point (0,0,Z) of a semi-espherical (z > 0) charge distribution of radius R < Z and density ##\rho=constant## having a spherical hole of radius ##r_h<R## centered at (0,0,##r_h##). Homework Equations Coulomb's law...

Thanks, Simon. The first part of your comment triggers the intuition I was missing.

Hello everyone, Translation of extended objects is described taking the net force acting on the center of mass of the extended object. But to compute rotational motion, one needs to considers each force on their point of action. For example, let's consider a current I flowing in a...

All right, haruspex . I see the point now. Some how I was mislead by the textbook. After writing the potential at any point in space (x,y,z) and Leaving it in integral form, I then computed its derivatives with respect to each one of the components of the field point (x,y,z). Then...

Homework Statement A question involving the relationship between the electric field E(r) and the electric potential V( r) is about computing the electric field on the z-axis due to a uniform line charge distribution λ spread out on a semicircle of radius R, lying on the first half of the XY...
