Hi, just reviewing some of my physics material, and realized I had a question that has never been answered for me. I know that charged particles, traveling parallel to a magnetic field, feel no force either forwards or backwards, but feel a force perpendicular that causes them to spiral...

hi every one on an exercise on book we ask us to find the electrical field for a uniformly charged ring where we going to find : E=kqz/(z2+R2)3/2 then we have to derivate it wth respect to z and we find : dE/dz=kq*(R2+2z2)/(z2+R2)5/2 so my question is how do we get this derivation ?

Consider that the bar has a linear density λ and is in the x axis. Also consider that V=0 in infinite. Determine the potential in point P. I can calculate it, but I don't understand how the bounds of the integral are supposed to be determined: dq =\lambda dx'\\ r = x + x'\\dV =...
