Homework Statement



Write down a general function where E=f(r,D) for sphere (D=3), (where D is a dimensionality parameter, which describes how many orthogonal directions x,y,z the field drops off from its maximum).


Homework Equations





The Attempt at a Solution



E=f(r,3)

Am I correct in thinking I place the 3 where I have, and retain the r as an r.
Then insert some function where the f is located?
