Q2 A hollow cone is of slant length L and the half angle at the vertex is ß. The top half of the cone is removed and the remaining conical surface carries a surface charge density o. A Cartesian coordinate system is indicated together with a schematic of the half cone. The tip of the cone is at the origin O and the z-axis is aligned with the symmetry axis of the cone. (a) Find the electric field E at the origin O, using a suitable choice of coordinate system. (a) For what angle is the magnitude of the electric field maximum?
