The volume charge density of a solid nonconducting sphere of radius varies with radial distance ras given by . (a) What is the sphere’s total charge? What is the field magnitude E, at(b), (c) , and (d) ? (e) Graph Eversusr.
In Fig. 23-48a, an electron is shot directly away from a uniformly charged plastic sheet, at speed . The sheet is non-conducting, flat, and very large. Figure 23-48bgives the electron’s vertical velocity component vversus time tuntil the return to the launch point. What is the sheet’s surface charge density?

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) ?

When a shower is turned on in a closed bathroom, the splashing of the water on the bare tub can fill the room’s air with negatively charged ions and produce an electric field in the air as great as . Consider a bathroom with dimensions. Along the ceiling, floor, and four walls, approximate the electric field in the air as being directed perpendicular to the surface and as having a uniform magnitude of. Also, treat those surfaces as forming a closed Gaussian surface around the room’s air. What are (a) the volume charge density r and (b) the number of excess elementary charges eper cubic meter in the room’s air?
In Fig. 23-43, short sections of two very long parallel lines of charge are shown, fixed in place, separated by L=8.00 cmThe uniform linear charge densities arefor line 1 andfor line 2. Where along the x-axis shown is the net electric field from the two lines zero?
