A charge of uniform linear density is distributed along a long, thin, nonconducting rod. The rod is coaxial with a long conducting cylindrical shell (inner radius and outer radius). The net charge on the shell is zero.
What is the magnitude of the electric field from the axis of the shell?
What is the surface charge density on the
inner surface of the shell?
outer surface of the shell?

The figure gives the magnitude of the electric field inside and outside a sphere with a positive charge distributed uniformly throughout its volume. The scale of the vertical axis is set by . What is the charge on the sphere? What is the field magnitude at

ln the figure, two large, thin metal plates are parallel and close to each other. On their inner faces, the plates have excess surface charge densities of opposite signs and magnitude In unit vector notation, what is the electric field at points, to the left of the plates,
to the right of them and between them?

In figure a small circular hole of radius has been cut in the middle of an infinite, flat, nonconducting surface that has uniform charge density. A -axis, with its origin at the hole's center, is perpendicular to the surface. In unit vector notation, what is the electric field at point at ?

In figure, a nonconducting spherical shell of inner radius and outer radius has (within its thickness) a positive volume charge density where is constant and is the distance from the center of the shell. In addition, a small ball of charge is located at that center. What value should have if the electric field in the shell is to be uniform?

The figure shows a very large nonconducting sheet that has a uniform surface charge density of ; it also shows a particle of charge at distance from the sheet. Both are fixed in place. If at what positive and negative coordinate on the axis (other than infinity) is the net electric field of the sheet and particle zero? If at what coordinate on the axis is


Figure shows a section of a long, thin-walled metal tube of radius with a charge per unit length of . What is the magnitude of the electric field at radial distance (a) and (b) (c) Graph versus for the range to .
