Symmetry about the axis allows deductions such as $\int d\vec E_y=0$, which makes calculations easier. + +In a **one-dimensional** charge distribution (a line), the charge density is used in a similar way as moment of inertia's surface density: + +$$dQ=\rho_\ell d\ell$$ + +**Two-dimensional** charge distributions are more or less the same, but polar or Cartesian forms of the surface area work depending on the shape. + +$$dQ=\rho_s dS$$ + +!!! example + A rod of uniform charge density and length $L$ has a charge density of $p_\ell=\frac{Q}{L}$. diff --git a/docs/1b/ece124.md b/docs/1b/ece124.md index 9955689..398bd02 100644 --- a/docs/1b/ece124.md +++ b/docs/1b/ece124.md @@ -242,9 +242,9 @@ A **negative logic** transistor uses a NOT bubble to represent that it is closed ## Hardware !!! definition - - A **programmable logic gate** - - A **programmable logic array** - - **Programmable array logic** + - A **programmable logic gate** does shit + - A **programmable logic array** does more shit + - **Programmable array logic** is the shit being done ### FPGAs
