A charge q is uniformly distributed on a thin rod of mass m and length I that stays at rest in free space. Two regions of uniform electric field of intensity E are created on both sides of the rod as shown in the figure. In the region of width L where the rod is initially placed, there is no electric field. Now the rod is projected along its length so that it cannot enter completely into any of the regions of electric field. Find period of oscillations of the rod as a function of the maximum distance xm entered by a leading end of the rod into a region of electric field.

A long, straight, cylindrical conductor contains a cylindrical cavity whose axis is displaced by n from the axis of the conductor, as shown in the accompanying figure. The current density in the conductor is given by J=J0k, where J0 is a constant and k is along the axis of the conductor. Calculate the magnetic field at an arbitrary point P in the cavity by superimposing the field of a solid cylindrical conductor with radius R1and current density Jonto the field of a solid cylindrical conductor with radius R2and current density J . Then use the fact that the appropriate azimuthal unit vectors can be expressed as 1=kr1and 2=kr2 to show that everywhere inside the cavity the magnetic field is given by the constant B=120J0ka , where a=r1r2 and r1=r1r1 is the position of P relative to the center of the conductor and r2=r2r2 is the position of P relative to the center of the cavity.

There is a vector defined by John Henry Poynting in 1884 whose direction gives the direction that an electromagnetic wave transmits its field energy and whose magnitude is the rate at which energy is being transmitted per square meter of the wavefront. For mutually perpendicular E- and B-fields in the wave, the magnitude of the Poynting vector is S =EB/mu0 and the direction is given by a right-hand rule, curling fingers from E vector and B vector. a) Carefully analyze the units of the Poynting vector and show that they are indeed watts per square meter. b) Find the intensity of the light in a beam of light whose electric field strength is 360 N/C and whose magnetic field is 1.2 muT.
A 8.20 μC charged 1.00 g cork ball is suspended vertically on a 1.100 m long light string in the presence of a uniform downward-directed electric field of magnitude E = 8.50x105 N/C. If the ball is displaced slightly from the vertical, it oscillates like a simple pendulum. (c) Determine the acceleration of the ball due to the combined effects of the gravitational and electric fields. That is, what is the effective acceleration due to both gravity and the electric field? (What is the new "g" that you should use in the period equation?)
