a. Use the methods of Chapter 25 to find the potential at distance on the axis of the charged rod shown in FIGURE P26.43.
b. Use the result of part a to find the electric field at distance on the axis of a rod

An electron is released from rest at in the potential shown in Figure Q26.6. Does it move? If so, to the left or to the right? Explain.

A switch that connects a battery to a 10 mF capacitor is closed. Several seconds later you find that the capacitor plates are charged to 30 mC. What is the emf of the battery?
The parallel-plate capacitor in Figure Q26.11 is connected to a battery having potential difference . Without breaking any of the connections, insulating handles are used to increase the plate separation to .

a. Does the potential difference change as the separation increases? If so, by what factor? If not, why not?
b. Does the capacitance change? If so, by what factor? If not, why not?
c. Does the capacitor charge change? If so, by what factor? If not, why not?
Determine the magnitude and direction of the electric field at points 1 and 2 in Figure EX26.10.
