Your physics assignment is to figure out a way to use electricity to launch a small -long plastic drink stirrer. You decide that you’ll charge the little plastic rod by rubbing it with fur, then hold it near a long, charged wire, as shown in FIGURE P23.56. When you let go, the electric force of the wire on the plastic rod will shoot it away. Suppose you can uniformly charge the plastic stirrer to and that the linear charge density of the long wire is . What is the net electric force on the plastic stirrer if the end closest to the wire is away?
Hint: The stirrer cannot be modeled as a point charge; an integration is required.

A sphere of radius and surface charge density is positioned with its center distance from an infinite plane with surface charge density . At what distance from the plane, along a line toward the center of the sphere, is the electric field zero?
Along thin glass rod uniformly charged toand a -long thin plastic rod uniformly charged toare placed side by side, apart. What are the electric field strengthstoat distances, and from the glass rod along the line connecting the midpoints of the two rods?
You've hung two very large sheets of plastic facing each other with distancebetween them, as shown in. By rubbing them with wool and silk, you've managed to give one sheet a uniform surface charge density and the other a uniform surface charge density . What are the electric field vectors at points,and
