Homework Statement


A cone of height H and base radius A is charged with charge Q uniformly distributed in all its volume. Find electrostatic field intensity at the top of the cone.

DATA: H, A, Q

Homework Equations


E=ρ/(4πε0) ∫Ω dΩ/R2)

and R is a vector (rr^+zz^) r^ and z^ are versors

The Attempt at a Solution


Don't have idea how to integrate this, hope anyone can help me.

Use cylindrical coordinates. This gives you a triple integral.
 
How do I do this?

Are you familiar with cylindrical coordinates?
Do you know how to write an integral over a volume using such?
Both topics can be easily found on the net.
