The discussion focuses on determining charge densities from an electric field, specifically in the context of electrostatics and Gauss's law. The user successfully identified the spherical symmetry of the electric field and explored the implications for charge distribution. Key concepts include the use of Gauss's differential form and the consideration of cases for charge density based on the radius relative to the charge distribution. Ultimately, the user concluded that the charge configuration could be modeled as a point charge located at (0,0,z1).
PREREQUISITESStudents of physics, particularly those studying electrostatics, as well as educators and anyone interested in understanding charge densities and electric fields.
)Yes its spherical right? could you guide me for the third term; how to find a density ?BvU said:Would you recognize the shape of the field if ##z_1 = 0## ?
(to begin with, for ##|\vec r| \ge R_2 ##
Not really understanding your responses...BvU said:
hmm so we would need to solve for Q (Uniform charge of the sphere) but would I need to split it into two cases? r>R and r<R?BvU said:
I think i figured it out ! Thank you !BvU said:
