I am currently doing a project which requires me to figure out the charge density of a strip. Assume that the strip is isolated in a vacuum.

Assume the strip is 1 dimensional, kind of like a rod. What would the function of charge density of the strip be? (The function is f(x) and depends only on 1 variable as it is assumed to be 1 dimensional)

How about if we assume that the strip is 2 dimensional? What would the 2 dimensional function of charge density of the strip be? (The function is f(x, y) and depends on 2 variables as it is assumed to be 2 dimensional)

If you have any books or research papers on the subject could you please also post them. If my question is unclear please feel free to ask for more information. Thanks

  • $\begingroup$ in order to find the charge density, you must know something about the strip, e.g. has it been given a uniform charge, is it in an external electric field, is it a conductor, dielectric? It is also worth noting that a two-dimensional object can have a charge density that depends on no spatial parameters, one parameter or two parameters, it all depends on the conditions the object is subjected to. $\endgroup$
