A thick spherical shell carries charge density
(Fig. 2.25). Find the electric field in the three regions: (i) r< a,(ii) a< r< b,(iii) r> b.Plot lEI as a function of r,for the case b=2a.
Suppose the electric field in some region is found to be
in spherical coordinates (kis some constant).
(a) Find the charge density role="math" localid="1654330395426"
(b) Find the total charge contained in a sphere of radius centered at the origin.(Do it two different ways.)
A sphere of radius Rcarries a charge density (where kis a constant). Find the energy of the configuration. Check your answer by calculating it in at least two different ways.
(a) Consider an equilateral triangle, inscribed in a circle of radius a,with a point charge qat each vertex. The electric field is zero (obviously) at the center, but (surprisingly) there are three otherpoints inside the triangle where the field is zero. Where are they? [Answer: r= 0.285 a-you'llprobably need a computer to get it.]
(b) For a regular n-sided polygon there are npoints (in addition to the center) where the field is zero. Find their distance from the center for n= 4 and n= 5. What do you suppose happens as ?
A charge q sits at the back comer of a cube, as shown in Fig. 2.17.What is the flux of E through the shaded side?
