EXAMPLE 2.3
Asanexampleoftheevaluationofavolumeintegral,wefindthetotalchargecontained
in a 2-cm length of the electron beam shown in Figure 2.5.
Solution. From the illustration, we see that the charge density is
−6 −10 ρz
ρ ν =−5 × 10 e 5 C/m 2
The volume differential in cylindrical coordinates is given in Section 1.8; therefore,
0.04 2π 0.01 5
−6 −10 ρz
Q = −5 × 10 e ρ dρ dφ dz

We integrate first with respect to φ because it is so easy,

and then with respect to z, because this will simplify the last integration with respect
to ρ,

within the right circular cylinder may be
obtained by evaluatingQ = vol ρ ν dν.
