Question

Consider a line charge as your source. What is the order of your steps when applying coulomb's law. Below is a sequence of events. Place them in the order they should occur, number 1 being the first item. Select the step number from the drop down next to each item. Items to order: 1. Plug in coulomb's law. 2. Line integrate the expression. 3. Find the position vector of your field point. 4. Find the distance vector between differential source charge and field point. 5. Define your reference. 6. Find the dynamic position vector of these differential charges. 7. Carve the line in differential segments and assign each segment differential charge.

Answer 1

the correct order of events is: 5 7 6 3 4 1 2

Step-by-step explanation:

In this exercise, you order the events to solve the problem of the electric field created by a line of charge a line of charge

the order of events is

a) We define a reference 5

b) cut the line into segments each one is a charge differential 7

c) find the vector of the position of charges 6

d) find the point where field is calculated 3

e) find the distance between each charge point and point of interest 4

f) insert Coulomb's law 1

f) perform the integral of line 2

therefore the correct order of events is: 5 7 6 3 4 1 2
