2 Quite a bit of homework this week
3 Donrsquot panicDonrsquot be intimidated by integrals Physics 212 Lecture 2 Slide 1
ldquoI find the most difficult part to determine the direction of electric field I need to calculate the magnitude as well as the angle for net magnitude and finally analysis and make the decisionrdquo ldquoi started to get confused at electric dipoles give the positive and negative charges of same magnitude how do you know what direction the field points in also the infinite line stuff made 0 senserdquo ldquoSo what that point charge is 1r^2 and infinite line is 1r Does that dimensional dependence matterrdquo ldquoI am very confused on the dipole charges and the infinite lines of charge Could you explain more about thoserdquo ldquoId like to spend more time with setting up integrals for continuous distributionsrdquo ldquoThe integral of the continuous line charges is a bit abstract for me I dont quite
understand how to add up for the Y componentrdquo ldquoI didnt get the part in superposition of vectors when he talks about dimensions and how its reflected in the formulardquo
