    Electrostatics

    Uploaded by

    This document discusses electric field configurations for several basic electrostatic situations: 1) An infinite line charge produces a uniform electric field perpendicular to the line. 2) A ring charge produces a radial electric field inside the ring and zero field on the central axis. 3) The electric field inside a hollow conducting sphere is zero due to the shell theorem, while outside it is identical to a point charge. 4) A solid non-conducting sphere produces a radial electric field that decreases with the inverse square of the distance from the center. 5) An infinite sheet with a uniform surface charge density produces a uniform electric field perpendicular to the sheet.
