Throughout this project report, I use calculus concept to calculate the electric field due to a charged rod, the electric field on the axis of a ring of charge, and the electric field on the axis of a disk of uniform charge density. The electric fields can be calculated using the concept of integration along with a definite interval. The final results involve that the y-component of the electric field due to a charged rod is equal to,t of the electric field due to a charged rod is equal to.For the electric field due to a ring of charge, we have calculated that. 

For the electric field due to a disk of uniform charge density, we have . The electric field is characterized by the electric force per unit charge. The heading of the field is taken to be the course of the force it would apply on a positive test charge. The electric field is radially outward from a positive charge and radially in toward a negative point charge. Since electric charge is the electric field's source, the electric field anytime in space can be numerically identified with the charges show. The least difficult illustration is that of a detached point charge. For different point charges, a vector entirety of point charge fields is required. In the case that we imagine a constant charge distribution, then analytical calculus is required and things can turn out to be extremely mind-boggling numerically.
