Question
PHYS152 Lab 3: Electric Fields Pre-Lab Questions drtra Information from Section 15.1 may prove helpful in answering these questions) . Write the expression for electric field at a distance r due following charge distribution a. A Point Charge Q: b. Line of Charge with total charge Q: 2. If observation location for electric field is too far in distance compared to the length of a line of charge, the expression for electric field due to line charge reduces to that of (or write the expression below).Explanation / Answer
1.
a)
electric field by a point charge "Q" at distance "r" is given as
E = k Q/r2
b)
for a line of charge , electric field is given as
E = k Q/(r sqrt(r2 + (L/2)2))
where r = distance from the line of charge
L = length
2.
E = k Q/r2
