Im curious about an electric field (somewhere of radius s) inside a solid sphere (radius a) such that:
[tex]\int E.da=E4\pi s^{2}[/tex]
and Q = [tex]\frac{\rho 4\pi s^{3}}{\epsilon_{o}3}[/tex]
What is the difference between using each coordinate system to solve for E? It's just that I've really had to teach my self most maths involved with physics and although i can do most things, sometimes fundamental definitions escape me.
I tried searching for an answer but found it hard to understand the difference between spherical and Cartesian x, y, z coordinates. Am i right in assuming that the above is solved with Cartesian coordinates?
Im sure this is a very stupid and basic question.
