Homework Statement
i tried to compute the electrostatic field of a charged ring at a point not
in the center
i have problem with transforming from xy to polar system
what do you think about this try?
An electrostatic field is a type of force field that is created by stationary electric charges. It is also known as an electric field.
The electrostatic field can be computed using Coulomb's Law, which states that the force between two electric charges is directly proportional to the product of the charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.
The units of measurement for the electrostatic field are newtons per coulomb (N/C) or volts per meter (V/m).
The strength of the electrostatic field is affected by the magnitude of the charges, the distance between the charges, and the medium in which the charges are located. It is also affected by any intervening objects that may alter the field.
The direction of the electrostatic field is determined by the direction in which a positive test charge would move if placed in the field. It is always directed away from positive charges and towards negative charges.
