A spherical capacitor consists of two concentric spheres with the inner sphere of radius aand the outer sphere of radius b. The total charge on the inner sphere is Q C whereasthe outer sphere similarly supports a charge of −Q C. For both spheres, the charge isuniformly distributed.

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.

This equation is for the electric field of a uniform ring which is charged and is at point z which is perpendicular to the center of the ring.

Early in the 20th century, a leading model of the structure of the atom was that of English physicist J. J. Thomson (the discoverer of the electron). In Thomson’s model, an atom consisted of a sphere of positively charged material in which were embedded negatively charged electrons, like chocolate chips in a ball of cookie dough. Consider such an atom consisting of one electron with mass m and charge -e, which may be regarded as a point charge, and a uniformly charged sphere of charge +e and radius R. By that time time, it was known that excited atoms emit light waves of only certain frequencies. In his model, the frequency of emitted light is the same as the oscillation frequency of the electron (s) problems in the atom. What radius (in millimeter) would a Thomson-model atom need for it to produce red light of frequency 4.57 x 1014 Hz? (Don't express your answer in scientific notation)
