The Homogeneously Charged Disk: Electrostatic Potential and Electric Field cover

The Homogeneously Charged Disk: Electrostatic Potential and Electric Field

Published in Electrodynamics / Electrostatics / Charges and Electric Fields
Tags: Rotational Symmetry / Near Field / Far Field

Using the charged ring potential we derive the potential and field for a homogeneously charged disk. Limiting cases and generalizations are discussed.

The Quadrupole Moment of a Homogeneously Charged Ellipsoid cover

The Quadrupole Moment of a Homogeneously Charged Ellipsoid

Published in Electrodynamics / Electrostatics / Multipole Moments
Tags: Rotational Symmetry / Quadrupole Moment / Ellipsoidal coordinates

The quadrupole moments of a homogeneously charged ellipsoid are calculated. The result will help us to understand how and why the quadrupole moments of an ellipsoidal charge distribution changes if it gets into an excited state.
