We wish to derive an expression for theelectric field for a point on the x-axis. From the symetry of the configuration, the net Electric field along the xaxis should only have an x component. A typical point is indicated on the diagram below. We will consider thecontributions of each (infinitesimal) section of the ring of charge of where the length of the segment is ds.a) What is the charge per unit length λ?b) What is the charge of a piece of length ds.(for c-e express all geometric factors in terms of x and a only!)c) What is the distance from the piece of charge to the field point?d) What is the magnitude of the electric field due to this piece?e) What is the x component of the electric field due to this piece?
