I am taking a lightning class for my atmospheric science masters degree. However its been awhile and I am having trouble with remembering how to do the physics portion of it. I hope someone can help me!
I have an electric field [itex]\vec{}E[/itex]=E[itex]_{}x[/itex][itex]\widehat{}X[/itex]+E[itex]_{}y[/itex][itex]\widehat{}Y[/itex]+E[itex]_{}z[/itex][itex]\widehat{}Z[/itex] Find the divergence and curl of this electric field. I have done this with no problem. The second part is where I am confused. I have to find the space density charge of [itex]\vec{}E[/itex]=E(r)[itex]\dot{}r\widehat{}[/itex]
I have an equation for space charge density but am unsure how to derive it. The space charge equation I have is ([itex]\rho[/itex]/[itex]\epsilon[/itex])=delta dot E
Can some one give me some pointers on even how to find a space charge denstiy?\
Thanks
