Figure 23-40 shows a section of a long, thin-walled metal tube of radius, with a charge per unit length of .
What is the magnitude Eof the electric field at radial distance
(a) and
(b) ?
(c) Graph Eversus rfor the range.

In Fig. 23-49, a small, non-conducting ball of massand charge (distributed uniformly through its volume) hangs from an insulating thread that makes an angle with a vertical, uniformly charged non-conducting sheet (shown in cross-section). Considering the gravitational force on the ball and assuming the sheet extends far vertically and into and out of the page, calculate the surface charge density s of the sheet.
