Figure 23-27 shows four solid spheres, each with charge uniformly distributed through its volume. (a) Rank the spheres according to their volume charge density, greatest first. The figure also shows a point for each sphere, all at the same distance from the center of the sphere. (b) Rank the spheres according to the magnitude of the electric field they produce at point , greatest first.

Figure 23-22 show, in cross-section, three solid cylinders, each of length and uniform charge . Concentric with each cylinder is a cylindrical Gaussian surface, with all three surfaces having the same radius. Rank the Gaussian surfaces according to the electric field at any point on the surface, greatest first.

Figure 23-51 shows a cross-section through a very large non-conducting slab of thicknessand uniform volume charge density . The origin of an x-axis is at the slab’s center. What is the magnitude of the slab’s electric field at an xcoordinate of (a) , (b) , (c) , and (d) ?

A charged particle is held at the center of a spherical shell. Figure 23-53 gives the magnitude Eof the electric field versus radial distance r. The scale of the vertical axis is set by . Approximately, what is the net charge on the shell?
