- | - (Part 1) What would you expect the electric field to look like for an observation point at the center of the ring? What about a ring of observation points aligned with the ring (z=0) but with a radius inside the ring of charge? What about a ring of observation points with some z value away from the ring of charge? Draw these out on the whiteboard. | + | - What is a surface charge gradient? |
