A positive point charge sits at the center of a hollow spherical shell. The shell, with radius and negligible thickness, has net charge . Find an expression for the electric field strength (a) inside the sphere, , and (b) outside the sphere, . In what direction does the electric field point in each case?
What is the electric flux through each of the surfaces A to E in FIGURE Q24.6? Give each answer as a multiple of .

The cube in FIGURE EX24.7 contains negative charge. The electric field is constant over each face of the cube. Does the missing electric field vector on the front face point in or out? What strength must this field exceed?

The electric field is constant over each face of the cube shown in FIGURE EX24.5. Does the box contain positive charge, negative charge, or no charge? Explain.
