Figure 23-26 shows four situations in which four very long rods extend into and out of the page (we see only their cross sections). The value below each cross-section gives that particular rod鈥檚 uniform charge density in micro-coulombs per meter. The rods are separated by either or role="math" localid="1661874332860" as drawn, and a central point is shown midway between the inner rods. Rank the situations according to the magnitude of the net electric field at that central point, greatest first.
The square surface shown in Fig. 23-30 measures 3.2mmon each side. It is immersed in a uniform electric field with magnitude E=1800 N/Cand with field lines at an angle of with a normal to the surface, as shown. Take that normal to be directed 鈥渙utward,鈥 as though the surface were one face of a box. Calculate the electric flux through the surface.

Charge of uniform volume densityfills an infinite slab between role="math" localid="1657340713406" and role="math" localid="1657340708898" What is the magnitude of the electric field at any point with the coordinate (a) and (b)?
An infinite line of charge produces a field of magnitudeat distance 2.0 m. Find the linear charge density.
Figure 23-59 shows, in cross section, three infinitely large nonconducting sheets on which charge is uniformly spread. The surface charge densities are and , and distance . In unit vector notation, what is the net electric field at point P?
