To find an infinite plane that doesn't have the usually assumed symmetries, you can look at my last post. I think I've constructed one...

Hello, This post is related to my previous discussion about the uniformly charged infinite plane. However, since the example and the...

I think we agree. We need to add a condition for the infinite plane model to be applicable to the horizontal component. Basically, the...

Yes, it's a transcription error ! thanks.

But when we write the integrals that give the electrostatic field, we don't have to specify the partitioning associated with the...

It seems to me that this reasoning would be valid for a finite distribution. But for an infinite distribution, it doesn't seem so...

I think we could forget about infinite wires and the diagram and work purely mathematically. We need to calculate a limit of an...

Hello and thank you for your reply! Actually, the infinite-wires decomposition is a way to decompose the plane to calculate the integral...

Hello and thank you for your reply! No, I have nothing against symmetries. But it seems difficult to impose a priori on the concept of...

Hello, I would like to discuss a mathematical point concerning the electric field of an infinite uniformly charged plane. This question...

For almost 40 years I was a physics professor in France at the undergraduate level (preparatory classes for engineering schools). I am...
