Exploring the electric field around a loop of static charge: Rectangles, stadiums, ellipses, and knots
We study the electric field around a continuous one-dimensional loop of static charge, under the assumption that the charge is distributed uniformly along the loop. For rectangular or stadium-shaped loops in the plane, we find that the electric field can undergo a symmetry-breaking pitchfork bifurca...
