An infinite, uniform, line of charge is on the x-axis. The linear charge density is (lambda), with units of C/m. Find an expression for the electric field at a particular y-value on the y-axis at x=0, using Gauss's Law. Do this problem as if (lambda) is positive -- the answer is valid regardless of the sign. If (lambda) = 2.5 nC/m, and y = 8 cm, calculate the electric field.
A large non-conducting slab of area A and thickness d has a charge density rho=Cx^4. The origin is through the center of the slab. That is to say, it bisects the slab into two equal volumes of d/2 thickness and with an area of A, with -d/2 to the left of x=0, and d/2 to the right of x=0. Express all answers in terms of C, x, and any known constants. Gaussian surface 1 (cylinder) is located such that its volume encompasses the charge contained within the slab. Apply Gauss's Law to cylinder 1 to determine the electric field to the left and to the right of the slab. Make sure you incude the domains over which the field is valid.
Consider a Gaussian surface with spherical shape encloses a point chargeq. If the point charge is moved from the center of the sphere to a point awayfrom the center, does the electric field at a point on the sur face change?
