Note About Clindical Coodinates Note: In clindical coodinates, the LH is alwas: LH = D 2 ( πh) Assume: ( ) ( ) φ,, = f ( a function of onl, not φ and ) v ( ) D = ˆ D ( in the ˆ diection, and a function of onl, not φ and ) ( π ) LH = D nˆ d = D ˆ d = D d = D 2 h 7
Eample h This eample illustates when Gauss s Law is not useful. D nd ˆ = Q but D ˆ encl D E has moe than one component! h l E is not a function of onl! Finite unifom line chage Note: Although Gauss s law is still valid, it is not useful in helping us to solve the poblem. We must use Coulomb s law. 8
