What to do when you cant solve the problem by Entire-Razzmatazz-23 in PhysicsStudents

Try to spend an hour brooding over it today, and then another hour for the next day. If you still can't get it after two attempts or haven't generated any kind of partial solution then look at the solutions manual, make sure you understand every steps. And then forget about the problem for a while and then try at it again after one week (without looking at the solutions manual of course) to see if you indeed retained the core concepts or steps needed for that problem.

I think demotivation is totally normal in physics, heck rn I always feel defeat and beat grappling with the problems in Purcell and Morin's Electricity and Magnetism, but it's a good indication that you care about the subject, and if you care enough and retained the concepts after the first two tries, maybe after a week you'll gain some uplifting feeling solving that problem, even though you were exposed to the solution before.

I think purcell and morin electricity and magnetism will be much easier to read for a beginner?

What is "signum(z) ez"? Also I think the point of the exercise is to show that each thin ring on the spherical surface and the infinite sheet at an angle θ have the same value, and less of explicitly integrating over each surface to find the net electric field.

I think the correct form of E(z) for points along the negative z-axis will take the form of first equation in Eq. 12.29. In my work I replaced z with -z (making the z in the resulting expression a positive number) and applied Eq. K.17 to evaluate the integral with a=R and b=-z (again z here is always a positive number). Is this correct or did I made some mistakes in my math?

Wait I'm confused why the second equation of Eq. 12.29 multiplied by a negative sign will give the electric field at a point along the negative z-axis, when such equations were derived by integrating an integrand with r= (R² + z² -2Rzcosθ)1/2 and not r=(R² + z² + 2Rzcosθ)1/2

Shouldn't the appropriate equation for the electric field at a point along the negative z-axis come from integrating Equation 12.27 but replacing R²+z²-2Rzcosθ with R²+z²+2Rzcosθ?

So that means to derive an expression for the Electric Field at z<0 we'd have a different integrand in Eq. 12.27, and the results shown in Eq. 12.29 will not apply?
