Continuous Charge Distributions (21:56)
Review for AP Physics C: Electricity and Magnetism
AP Physics C: Electricity and Magnetism review of continuous charge distributions including: derivation of the integral E Field equation, requirements specific to the AP curriculum, charge densities, a full solution to finding the electric field from a charged, thin rod, a full solution to finding the electric filed from a thin ring of charges, showing that both of those solutions act like a point charge when we get far enough away from the charges, and proving a charge can move in simple harmonic motion near a thin ring!
