This article will describe the Electric Field created by a uniformly charged thin ring and how to calculate the value of this field.
The Main Idea
Objects that create electric fields come in various shapes, including circular rings.
A Mathematical Model
What are the mathematical equations that allow us to model this topic. For example [math]\displaystyle{ {\frac{d\vec{p}}{dt}}_{system} = \vec{F}_{net} }[/math] where p is the momentum of the system and F is the net force from the surroundings.
A Computational Model
How do we visualize or predict using this topic. Consider embedding some vpython code here Teach hands-on with GlowScript
Examples
Below are examples of calculating the value and direction of the Electric Field caused by a ring positioned in the xy-plane with a radius R and total charge q.
