Question

Which of these charge distributions did not have its electric field calculated in Chapter 23?

A. a line of charge
B. a parallel-plate capacitor
C. A ring of charge
D. A plane of charge
E. They were all calculated

Answer 1

The ring of charge had its electric field calculation omitted in Chapter 23 while distributions for a line of charge, parallel-plate capacitor, and plane of charge were included.

Step-by-step explanation:

The charge distribution associated with a ring of charge did not have its electric field calculated in Chapter 23. Charge distributions for a line of charge, a parallel-plate capacitor, and a plane of charge were discussed, with their respective electric fields analyzed in the chapter. The electric field in a parallel-plate capacitor, for example, was described as being perpendicular to the plates and constant in both magnitude and direction, which suggests that the electric field for a ring of charge was not explicitly calculated in this chapter.
