Homework Statement
I'm really bad at these type of problems. I'm supposed to find the monopole moment of this continuous charge distribution. its charge is
[tex]\sigma = const*cos(\theta) [/tex]
Homework Equations
[tex]p = \int r'\rho(r')d\tau[/tex]
which then since we are doing a surface charge should be
[tex]p = \int r' \sigma da[/tex]
The Attempt at a Solution
Well, I want to do the double integral of something to find the charge distribution so I can find the monopole moment. I'm thinking something like
[tex]p = \int_{0}^{2 \pi}\int_{0}^{2 \pi} r' * c \cdot cos(\theta) sin( \theta) r^2 d\phi d\theta[/tex]
and I'm thinking that r' is just r so then it would be
[tex]p = \int_0^{2\pi} d\phi \int_0^{\pi} r'^3cose(\theta)sin(\theta)d\theta[/tex]
