In Figure 23-35, short sections of two very long parallel lines of charge are shown, fixed in place and separated by L = 8.2 cm. The uniform linear charge densities are +6.0 µC/m for line 1 and -2.0 µC/m for line 2. Where along the x axis shown is the net electric field from the two lines zero?
A plastic rod with a uniform charge - Q is bent in a 120° circular arc ofradius r and is symmetrically placed across an X axis with the origin atthe center of curvature P of the rod If the linear charge density of the rod is 2, write an expression forthe magnitude of the electric field strength dE at P due todq charge element of the rod.
Equation 23-11 (E = s/´0) gives the electric field at points near a charged conducting surface. Apply this equation to a conducting sphere of radius r and charge q, and show that the electric field outside the sphere is the same as the field of a charged particle located at the center of the sphere.
If more electric field lines leave a gaussian surface than enter it, what can you conclude about the net charge enclosed by that surface?
