Click For Summary
Calculating the electric field due to a uniformly charged ring at points not on the perpendicular axis involves complex integrals. Users have noted that applying Coulomb's law and the divergence of electric potential often leads to complicated calculations. The integral for this scenario does not yield a simple closed-form expression, which can be a source of frustration. It's essential to approach the problem with an understanding of the complexities involved. The discussion emphasizes the challenges of finding a straightforward solution in this context.

How to calculate the field due to a uniformly charged ring at a point not on the perpendicular axis of the plane of the ring
I have tried using coulomb's law and divergennce of the electric potential but I always stumble with a complicated integeral

That’s because the corresponding integral is complicated. You should worry if you found a simple closed form expression.

Thread 'Reflections at the source point of a transmission line'

I was using the Smith chart to determine the input impedance of a transmission line that has a reflection from the load. One can do this if one knows the characteristic impedance Zo, the degree of mismatch of the load ZL and the length of the transmission line in wavelengths. However, my question is: Consider the input impedance of a wave which appears back at the source after reflection from the load and has traveled for some fraction of a wavelength. The impedance of this wave as it...
