Problem 3 - Charge on a Wire Consider a finite cylindrical wire of radius 0.01m and length I'm with its axis along the r axis as shown below. The wire is kept at a constant potential of 1 V. In this problem, we want to obtain the charge distribution on the wire which will be performed numerically using the method of moments (MOM). Part i) By splitting the cylinder into 5 sections of length 0.2m and assuming that the charge is uniformly distributed in each element, determine the P matrix as per the notation outlined in the lectures. Part ii) Using MATLAB, find the charge in each segment and plot the charge density as a function of r. y 3 4 5 L
