Calculations for today

• For the remainder of the lecture, we will calculate the electric field for the following physical configuration of charges:

• Point Charges: Electric Dipole

  • example 22-8 Tipler pp 670-671

• Continuous Charge Distribution: Infinite line of charge

  • chapter 23.1 Tipler pp 690-691

Note: We will see these configurations again when we discuss Gauss’ Law and Electric Potential.
