Jill arranges a selection of uniformly charged rings symmetrically around the x-axis so that the electric potential on the positive x-axis is V(x,0,0) = V0 ln[x/(L+x)], where V0 is in volts and x > 0 . When Jill sketched the arrangement, the z-axis points out of the screen. L and x are in units of meters.
a) Find an expression for the y-component of the electric field, Ey, on the positive x-axis.
b) Find an expression for the z-component of the electric field, Ez, on the positive x-axis.
c) Find an expression for the x-component of the electric field, Ex, on the positive x-axis.
d) Calculate the magnitude of the electric field, in volts per meter, at the observation point (xob = 6.7 m, 0, 0), with xob = 6.7 m, L = 1.25 m, and V0 = 1 V.
Please provide explanations behind your work for my understanding.Thank you very much for your help!
we know electric field E= - grad(V) from that relation we can easily find x, y and z component of electric field on + ve x axis.
