When I examine myself and my methods of thought I come close to the conclusion that the gift of imagination has meant more to me than my talent for absorbing absolute Knowledge ----- ( Imagination) Albert Einstein

We have already seen in lecture2 what is line charge, surface charge, Volume charge We also know
dQ= Q

and

L dL = dQ

E=( Q / 4 0r2 ) * Ur

thus replacing Q by L dL And integrating we get E due to line charge as

Eline = ( L dL / 4 0r2 ) * Ur

Similarly
Esurface = ( s ds/4 0r2 ) * Ur EVol = ( V dv/4 0r2 ) *Ur

R = (x,y,z)- (0,0,z) = =

(x- 0)Ux + (y-0)Uy +(z-z)Uz xUx + yUy +(z-z)Uz

By the relation between Cylindrical and Cartesian Coordinates xUx+yUy = U Hence R = U +(z-z)Uz We also know (ie) Eline = Ur = R / |R| Ur/R2 =R/|R|3 ( L dL / 4 0r2 ) * Ur -----Eq (1) Z-z |R| -----Eq (2)

Eline = L / 4 0 ( R/|R|3 ) * dz Consider the triangle (dl , P,T) Sec = |R|/ Sub 2 and 3 in 1

|R| = Sec

(z-z) = tan z = z- tan dz = - Sec2 d

From the triangle

=|R|Cos (z-z) =|R|Sin

E= - (L / 4 0 )* Sec2 ( Cos U +Sin Uz) d

|R|2
2 E= -{ L / 4 0 } * ( Cos U +Sin Uz) d 1 E = { L / 4 0 } * [ -(Sin 2 -Sin 1 )U + (Cos 2 -Cos 1)Uz ] The above equation gives the line charge field distribution equation when line charge is placed along Z axis

EEE/MSK/EE1201/Emt/L4

Case 1 If the Line Charge is infinite then B(0,0, ) and A(0,0, -) so 1= /2 2 = - /2

and

E = { L / 2 0 } * U
Case 2 If the line charge is finite and has its one end making an angle of 1 and other 2 E = { L / 4 0 } * [ -(Sin 2 -Sin 1 )U + (Cos 2 -Cos 1)Uz ]
