Electric Field of Line Charge

The electric field of a line of charge can be found by superposing the point charge
fields of infinitesmal charge elements. The radial part of the field from a charge
element is given by

The integral required to obtain the field expression is


Electric Field: Ring of Charge
The electric field of a ring of charge on the axis of the ring can be found by superposing
the point charge fields of infinitesmal charge elements. The ring field can then be used as
an element to calculate the electric field of a charged disc.

The electric fields in the xy plane cancel by


symmetry, and the z-components from
charge elements can be simply added.

If the charge is characterized by an area


density and the ring by an incremental width
dR' , then:

This is a suitable element for the calculation


of the electric field of a charged disc.
Electric Field:Disc of Charge
The electric field of a disc of charge can be found by superposing the point
charge fields of infinitesmal charge elements. This can be facilitated by
summing the fields of charged rings. The integral over the charged disc takes
the form

Potential of Line Charge
The potential of a line of charge can be found by superposing the point charge
potentials of infinitesmal charge elements. It is an example of a continuous
charge distribution.

Potential for Ring of Charge


The potential of a ring of charge can be found by superposing the point charge
potentials of infinitesmal charge elements. It is an example of a continuous
charge distribution. The ring potential can then be used as a charge element to
calculate the potential of a charged disc.
Since the potential is a scalar quantity, and
since each element of the ring is the same
distance r from the point P, the potential is
simply given by

If the charge is characterized by an area


density and the ring by an incremental width
dR', then:

In this form it could be used as a charge element for the determining of the
potential of a disc of charge.
