In Fig. 23-44, 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 (a) to the left of the plates, (b) to the right of them, and (c) between them?

A uniformly charged conducting sphere of1.2 mdiameter has surface charge density 8.1 mC/m2 . Find (a) the net charge on the sphere and (b) the total electric flux leaving the surface.
Figure 23-58 shows, in cross-section, two solid spheres with uniformly distributed charges throughout their volumes. Each has radius R. Point Plies on a line connecting the centers of the spheres, at radial distance from the center of sphere 1. If the net electric field at point Pis zero, what is the ratio of the total charges?

Flux and conducting shells. A charged particle is held at the center of two concentric conducting spherical shells. Figure 23-39ashows a cross section. Figure 23-39b gives the net flux through a Gaussian sphere centered on the particle, as a function of the radius rof the sphere. The scale of the vertical axis is set by.What are (a) the charge of the central particle and the net charges of (b) shell A and (c) shell B?

Equation 23-11 () gives the electric field at points near a charged conducting surface. Apply this equation to a conducting sphere of radius rand charge q, and show that the electric field outside the sphere is the same as the field of a charged particle located at the center of the sphere.
