  • Опубликовано: 27 дек 2024
  • This physics video tutorial explains how to calculate the electric field due to a line of charge of finite length. It also explains the concept of linear charge density and how to calculate it using an equation that contains the total charge and length of the rod.. It shows you how to evaluate the definite integrals using calculus techniques such as U-substitution and trigonometric substitution in order to derive the formula to calculate the net electric field along the x axis and along the y-axis. This video contains a few examples and practice problems.

    At 7:08 how he got the equation for dEx was by understanding that x/r is proportional to dEx/ dE. Therefor:
    dEx/dE = x/r
    dEx/dE = cos(theta)
    dEx = dE (cos(theta))

    Very nice, however I am struggling with the situation where the point P in not on the x axis. This means that the charged rod is not centered under P. The y components of E do not cancel and the x components are not symmetrical either. This is a much more difficult calculation and one that I have not seen anyone do. Could you extend this lesson to the more general case of an electric field at some point over any place of a charged line?

    Hey can you also take up the case where the point of observation (that is where we are supposed to find out the electric field) is not symmetrically placed , like what happens when the Y-component does not cancel out???

    • @shdhong
      @shdhong Год назад

      I believe that your comment (more of a question I believe) is very valid. To the best of understanding, the method shown only works for finding the electric field from a distance x from the center of the line charge. The y-components of the electric field for other points do not cancel as you pointed out. More complex integration is needed. In the numerical example near the end of the video, it asks specifically the electric field 80 cm away from the center of the rod.

      the length of the rod was defined as a to -a with the middle as the origin between them. When the integration was done, the a and -a were bounds in the integral, so when doing the upper bound - bottom bound, we do a - -a = 2a
