A metal ball (electrically conductive) with a radius of R = 10cm was placed in a vacuum and charged with a positive charge Q = 20μC. Using Gauss's law, determine the function describing the value of the radial component of the electric field intensity vector depending on the distance from the center of the spherical field for distances greater than or less than the radius of the sphere. Sketch the course of this function describing on the XY axes the characteristic values for the distance equal to the radius of the sphere at the center of the sphere.
Figure 2 shows a nonconducting rod with a uniformly distributed charge Q. The rod forms a half-circle with radius R and produces an electric field of magnitude Earc at its center of curvature P. If the arc is collapsed to a point at distance R from P, by what factor is the magnitude of the electric field at P multiplied?
As shown in Figure, a particle of charge +Q produces an electric field of magnitude Epart at point P, atdistance R from the particle. As in figure b, that same amount of charge is spread uniformly along a circulararc that has radius R and subtends an angle ?.

Consider two thin disks, of negligible thickness, of radius R oriented perpendicular to the x axis such that the x axis runs through the center of each disk. The disk centered at x=0 has positive charge density η, and the disk centered at x=a has negative charge density −η, where the charge density is charge per unit area. What is the magnitude E of the electric field at the point on the x axis with x coordinate a/2? Express your answer in terms of η, R, a, and the permittivity of free space ϵ0.
long coaxial cable is made of an inner solid cylindrical rod of radiusa and an outer cylindrical thin shell of radius b. The inner rod carries auniform volume positive charge density pv . The outer shell carries negativecharge with a uniform surface charge density ps, which is of just the rightamount to make the cable as a whole electrically neutral. Find the electricfield E in the regions: a) inside the inner cylinder (r < a), b) between thecylinders (a < r < b) and c) outside the cable (r > b)
A semicircle ofradius a is in the first and secondquadrants, with the center of curvatureat the origin.

Whatare the magnitude and direction of the net electric field at the originproduced by this distribution of charge?
The charge per unit length on the thin rod shownbelow is λ . What is the electric field at the point P? (Hint:Solve this problem by first considering the electric fieldd E→ at P due to a small segment dx of the rod, whichcontains charge dq = λdx . Then find the net field byintegrating d E→ over the length of the rod.)
Find the electric field everywhere of an infinite uniform line charge with total charge Q. Sol. Using Gauss's Law: (contour integral E with rightwards harpoon with barb upwards on top) * (stack d A with rightwards harpoon with barb upwards on top) = ___________ /epsilon0 EA = ___________ / epsilon0 Since, its the line charge we use the area of a cylinder surrounding the line charge E*2pi ___________ L= ___________ / epsilon0 But all the charged get enclosed by the cylinder area, so qenc = Q Deriving, we get: E = (1/2(pi*epsilon0))*(___________ /rL) **see picture for the symbols used

A point charge qq is at the point x=0,y=0,z=0.x=0,y=0,z=0. An imaginary hemispherical surface is made by starting with a spherical surface of radius RR centered on the point x=0,y=0,z=0x=0,y=0,z=0 and cutting off the half in the region z<0.z<0. The normal to this surface points out of the hemisphere, away from its center. Calculate the electric flux through the hemisphere if (a) q=8.00 nCq=8.00 nC and R=0.100 m;R=0.100 m; (b) q=−4.00 nCq=−4.00 nC and R=0.100 m;R=0.100 m; (c) q=−4.00 nCq=−4.00 nC and R=0.200 m;.
Four different configurations show charge distributions and closed Gaussian surfaces. Assume that the surface normals are directed outward for each closed surface. If a charge appears to be located within a Gaussian surface, then it is, as opposed to being in the foreground or the background. The charges have the following values:q1=−19.1nCq2=+29.2nCq3=+3.73nCq4=−3.14nCq5=+5.01nC a.
