A very long uniform line of charge with charge per unit length λ = +5.00 μC/m lies along the xx-axis, with its midpoint at the origin. A very large uniform sheet of charge is parallel to the xy-plane; the center of the sheet is at z = +0.600 m. The sheet has charge per unit area σ = +8.00 μC/m2, and the center of the sheet is at x=0, y=0. Point A is on the z-axis at z = +0.300 m, and point B is on the z-axis at z = -0.200 m.What is the potential difference VAB=VA−VB between points A and B?

Consider eight charges at the corners of a cube with side length a, and its axes parallel to the Cartesian coordinate axes, and its center at the origin, (0,0,0). a. If all eight charges have a value of q, evaluate the electric field along the x-axis, and explain its behavior as x goes to infinity. b. If the four charges where z= a/2 are +q and the other four are -q , evaluate the electric field along the x axis, and explain its behavior as x goes to infinity. c. Now consider having four +q and four -q charges, with each charge having its nearest neighbor have the opposite sign. Sketch this, evaluate the electric field along the x axis, and explain its behavior as x goes to inifinity.
