Electric field of a ring of charge
1. Consider a thin ring of radius R. The ring is uniformly charged with a total charge Q.
Write an expression for the linear charge density à of the ring.
2. The ring has rotational symmetry. That means the object can be rotated about a
fixed axis without changing the overall shape. Which one is this axis? (Call it axis of
symmetry). Make a small sketch of the ring and its axis of symmetry.
Your goal for the next parts is to calculate the net electric field due to the charged
ring at a point P located at a distance z from the center of the ring along the axis of
symmetry of the ring.
3. Make a sketch of the ring and the point P. Imagine to divide the ring in many tiny
elements of charge dq. Inspecting the symmetry of the problem, what do you think
will be the direction of the net electric field at point P?

field due to this element of charge at point P. Introduce a…

Which statement best describes the distribution of the charge inside the sphere? All of the charge is concentrated in a point charge. The flux indicates the net charge enclosed in the surface, but it yields no information about the distribution of the charge. The charge can be distributed in many different ways, but the distribution must be spherically symmetric. Both positive and negative charges are contained within the sphere, but most of the charges cancel yielding the net charge obtained in the previous step.
