A point charge Q is located on the axis of a disk of radius R at a distance h from the plane of the disk. Using Gauss' Law show that if one fourth of the electric flux from the charge passes through the disk, then R= V3h
An infinite, uniform, line of charge is on the x-axis. The linear charge density is (lambda), with units of C/m. Find an expression for the electric field at a particular y-value on the y-axis at x=0, using Gauss's Law. Do this problem as if (lambda) is positive -- the answer is valid regardless of the sign. If (lambda) = 2.5 nC/m, and y = 8 cm, calculate the electric field.
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.

Then find the net field byintegrating d E→ over the length of the rod.)
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.
