  • Explains the calculation of the electric field due to a ring of charge. This is at the AP Physics level. (important note: at 6:38 there is suppose to be an "a" in the numerator. I don't catch this mistake until much later in the video.)

    I love the way you teach physics. You assume we know nothing (and I assure you - I know nothing) and you hit every key point. I could not imagine taking physics without people like you to help me on youtube!

      so when R becomes 0, (a^2)^3/2 becomes a^3 and one of the a's cancel out with the a on top leaving a^2 on the bottom

    Did you leave that a out on purpose as an instructional piece? I noticed it and then when you noticed it it really brought the whole thing back around full circle for me. My mind was struggling a little bit with this concept and your video really helped dial it in. I’m sure I’ll forget it though if I don’t practice it haha! Thank you!

  • @kielmeister
    @kielmeister 10 років тому

    But if we are indeed calculating the e field of the ring of charge at the point, why is Q changing if it is a uniformly distributed charge? Would the bounds of the integral not end up as being the circumference of the ring or are you just trying to show how the ring of charge behaves like a point charge from a far distance? Thanks a lot by the way this explanation of the integral is very easy to follow.

  • @bocckoka
    @bocckoka 9 років тому +5

    problem is, when you are in the middle of the ring, ie a=0, you don't get zero as you should.

    • @Skittix447
      @Skittix447 4 роки тому

      Yea you do. a is in the numerator so it all becomes zero

    • @johnmarangola4276
      @johnmarangola4276 4 роки тому

      Yes you do. For the case that a = 0, the numerator will be (aQ) = (0*Q) = 0. Assuming that r is some arbitrary non-zero value, Ex = (0/sqrt(R^2+0^2)) = 0, thus the magnitude of the electric field at the origin is 0 N/C.

    A thin circular ring, of radius 20cm, is charged, with a uniform charge density(rho). If a small section, of 1cm length, is removed from the ring. Calculate the electric field intensity at the center of the ring.

    Its funny how people commenting about he forgot the "a" in the equation before they finished the whole video.
    Try to be smart ass but they have to watch this video just because they dont understand their professor's lecture in class.
    Anyway, good job on the explanation lasseviren1, its way easier understand your explanation than my professor's.

    I understood the canceling of y-components conceptually. But I didn't quite get it mathematically. The integral of the y-components should be zero right?
    I integrated the (dEsinθ) and got to ( kQR/(a^2+R^2)^3/2 )It should be zero. Where did I made a mistake in my calculations?

    sir, when you are using Pythagorean to find the R, isn't that under the premise that the angle between the opposite and the adjacent is 90?? but when you change R, and move around the circle, the angle between those two no longer remains as 90, which means R cannot be sqrt (a^2+ x^2). Could you please tell me why we are allowed to put R as that despite the change of angle? Thank you.
