Step-by-step explanation
Therefore, the relationship between charge density and ROC at different points can be expressed as:
From this, the relationship between the charge densities at the specified points becomes clear:
This implies:
Thus, the charge density is greatest at the point with the smallest ROC and decreases as the ROC increases, keeping in mind that and have equal ROC, hence equal charge densities.
