The charge per unit length on the thin rod shown below is . What is the electric field at the point P? (Hint: Solve this problem by first considering the electric field dE at P due to a small segment dx of the rod, which contains charge dq=dx . Then find the net field by integrating dE over the length of the rod.)
Two non-conducting spheres of radii R1 and R2 are uniformly charged with charge densities p1 and p2 , respectively. They are separated at center-to-center distance a (see below). Find the electric field at point P located at a distance r from the center of sphere 1 and is in the direction from the line joining the two spheres assuming their charge densities are not affected by the presence of the other sphere. (Hint: Work one sphere at a time and use the superposition principle.)
Determine if approximate cylindrical symmetry holds for the following situations. State why or why not. (a) A 300-cm long copper rod of radius 1 cm is charged with +500 nC of charge and we seek electric field at a point 5 cm from the center of the rod.
