Thin Cylinder

The document presents equations for calculating the electric field (Ec) and potential (el) near the surface of a conductor with a non-uniform charge distribution. It derives an expression for the electric field Ec in terms of the surface charge density pd, distance from the surface tE, and a parameter μ representing the non-uniformity of the charge. It then uses this to calculate an expression for the potential el and its gradient near the surface.

Taking log on both sides

 log V = log

 log V = log

Differentiating both sides partially wrt V

 = 0

 multiplying both sides with
