A sphere of radius has total charge . The volume charge Calc density role="math" localid="1648722354966" within the sphere is , where is a constant to be determined.
a. The charge within a small volume is . The integral of over the entire volume of the sphere is the total charge. Use this fact to determine the constant in terms of and .
Hint: Let be a spherical shell of radius and thickness. What is the volume of such a shell?
b. Use Gauss's law to find an expression for the electric field strength inside the sphere, , in terms of and.
c. Does your expression have the expected value at the surface, ? Explain.
FIGURE Pshows an infinitely wide conductor parallel to and distance from an infinitely wide plane of charge with surface charge density . What are the electric field to in regions to ?

FIGURE Pshows two very large slabs of metal that are parallel and distance apart. The top and bottom of each slab has surface area . The thickness of each slab is so small in comparison to its lateral dimensions that the surface area around the sides is negligible. Metal has total charge and metal has total charge . Assume is positive. In terms of and , determine
a. The electric field strengths toin regions to .
b. The surface charge densities to on the four surfaces a to .

FIGURE Q24.2 shows cross sections of three-dimensional closed surfaces. They have a flat top and bottom surface above and below the plane of the page. However, the electric field is everywhere parallel to the page, so there is no flux through the top or bottom surface. The electric field is uniform over each face of the surface. For each, does the surface enclose a net positive charge, a net negative charge, or no net charge? Explain.

What is the electric flux through each of the surfaces A to E in FIGURE Q24.6? Give each answer as a multiple of .
