Consider an infinitesimal segment located at an angular position θ on the semicircle, measured from the lower right corner of the semicircle at x=a, y=0. (Thus θ=π2 at x=0, y=a and θ=π at x=−a, y=0.) What are the x- and y- components of the electric field at point P (dEx and dEy) produced by just this segment? Express your answers separated by a comma in terms of some, all, or none of the variables Q, a, θ, dθ, and the constants k and π.
A particle of charge q and mass m is placed at the center of a uniformly charged ring of total charge Q and radius R.

Two non-conducting spheres of radii R1 and R2 are uniformly charged with charge densities p1 and p2 , respectively. They are separated at center-to-center distance a (see below). Find the electric field at point P located at a distance r from the center of sphere 1 and is in the direction from the line joining the two spheres assuming their charge densities are not affected by the presence of the other sphere. (Hint: Work one sphere at a time and use the superposition principle.)
A “semi-infinite” non-conducting rod (that is, infinite in one direction only) has uniform linear chargedensity(lambda). Show that the electric field at point P makes an angle of 45⁰ with the rod and that this result isindependent of the distance R. To do this, separately find the parallel and perpendicular (to the rod) components of the electric fieldat P, and show that these components are equal
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.)
A large non-conducting slab of area A and thickness d has a charge density rho=Cx^4. The origin is through the center of the slab. That is to say, it bisects the slab into two equal volumes of d/2 thickness and with an area of A, with -d/2 to the left of x=0, and d/2 to the right of x=0. Express all answers in terms of C, x, and any known constants. Gaussian surface 1 (cylinder) is located such that its volume encompasses the charge contained within the slab. Apply Gauss's Law to cylinder 1 to determine the electric field to the left and to the right of the slab. Make sure you incude the domains over which the field is valid.
