Suppose the electric field of Quick Quiz 15.7 is tilted 60 away from the positive z-direction. Calculate the magnitude of the flux through the same area. (a) 0 (b) 10.0 N m2/C (c) 20.0 N m2/C (d) More information is needed
A very large, thin, flat plate of aluminum of area A has a total charge Q uniformly distributed over its surfaces. Assuming the same charge is spread uniformly over the upper surface of an otherwise identical glass plate, compare the electric fields just above the center of the upper surface of each plate.
A very long line of charge with a linear charge density, , is parallel to another very long line of charge with a linear charge density, 2. Both lines are parallel to the y-axis, and are the same distance r from the y-axis, where the first wire is to the left of the origin and the second is to the right. Use Gausss law and the principle of superposition to find an expression for the magnitude of the electric field at the origin.
Two equal and opposite charges of magnitude Q are located on the x-axis at the points +a and a , as shown below. What is the net flux due to these charges through a square surface of side 2a that lies in the yz-plane and is centered at the origin? (Hint: Deter-nine the flux due to each charge separately, then use the principle of superposition. You may be able to make a symmetry argument.)

Determine if approximate cylindrical symmetry holds for the following situations. State why or why not. (a) A 300-cm long copper rod of radius 1 cm is charged with +500 nC of charge and we seek electric field at a point 5 cm from the center of the rod. (b) A 10-cm long copper of radius 1 cm is charged with +500 nC of charge and we seek electric field at a point 5 cm from the center of the rod. (c) A 150-cm wooden rod is glued to a 150-cm plastic rod to make a 300 cm long rod, which is then painted with a charged paint so that one obtains a uniform charge density. The radius of each rod is 1 cm, and we seek an electric field at a point that is 4 cm from the center of the rod. (d) Same rod as (c), but we seek electric field at a point that is 500 cm from the center of the rod.
An uncharged conductor with an internal cavity is shown in the following figure. Use the closed surface S along with Gauss' law to show that when a charge q is placed in the cavity a total charge q is induced on the inner surface of the conductor. What is the charge on the outer surface of the conductor? Figure 6.46 A charge inside a cavity of a metal. Charges at the outer surface do not depend on how the charges are distributed at the inner surface since E field inside the body of the metal is zero.
The electric field at a point on the perpendicular bisector of a charged rod was calculated as the first example of a continuous charge distribution, resulting in Equation 24.15:E=kQy12+y2j a.

Explain why this still produces an electric field near the rod that is finite.
