Charge Density Charge Q is spread uniformly on a rectangle of sides a and b. a) What is the surface charge density? b) The original rectangle, #1, is then broken into two smaller rectangles, #2 and #3. Compare the surface charge densities, 1, 2, 3. and the charges Q1, Q2, Q3. Phys 133
Charge Density ans Charge Q is spread uniformly on a rectangle of sides a and b. a) What is the surface charge density? b) The original rectangle, #1, is then broken into two smaller rectangles, #2 and #3. Compare the surface charge densities, 1, 2, 3. Charge is uniformly spread over rectangle. Piece #2 has a 1/3 the area, so 1/3 the charge. Phys 133

Strategy Draw a picture, pick a coordinate system. Identify, P, the place in space you want the field. • Pick a generic (no special points) chunk of charge DQ for which you know the field. Determine the components of (Ex, Ey, …) at P due to chunk expressed in terms of variables (x, y, …r, q…). • Express the charge DQin terms of charge density and infinitesimal variable(s) (dz, dq…) Express all quantities (angles, distances, etc.) in terms of coordinates. Add up contributions, sum becomes definite integral with limits corresponding to charge. • Evaluate integral and simplify result as much as possible. Phys 133
