    Study Notes

    Electric Field of a Charge Distribution

    • The electric field at point P due to one element carrying charge is represented by Coulomb's Law: E = k * Δq / r^2

    Total Electric Field at Point P

    • The total electric field at point P due to all elements in the charge distribution is the vector sum of the electric fields from each element: E_total = E1 + E2 + ... + En

    Electric Field of a Continuous Charge Distribution

    • In the limit as Δq_i approaches zero, the total field at point P due to the continuous charge distribution is given by an integral: E = ∫E dq

    Charge Density Definitions

    • The volume charge density (ρ) of a charge distribution is defined as the total charge per unit volume: ρ = ΔQ / ΔV
    • The surface charge density (σ) of a charge distribution is defined as the total charge per unit surface area: σ = ΔQ / ΔA
