In this section you will draw the electric fields of several simple charge configurations. While you will be able to draw only a 2- dimensional picture, keep in mind that these problems are inherently three dimensional. For each case: 1. Draw the electric field lines. 2. Draw the Gaussian surface for the flux calculation. 3. State whether the flux is positive, negative, or zero.

Determine the electric field at a distance `d` to the right of a thin-walled cylindrical shell with uniform distributed charge (See attached image). Provided are: the total charge `Q`, radius `R`, and shell length `h`. I can compute most of the solution, however, I don't understand the integration limits (See attached image). Given that the point on which I'm calculating the electric field is on the right side of the shell, shouldn't I be integrating from `d + h` to `d` instead of the other way around? If not, why?

Problem 2: A closed hollow cylinder (i.e., with capped ends) is situated in an electric field given by E(u) = E0(u5i + 7j + 22k). The cylinder’s axis is on the x-axis with its center at the origin. The cylinder’s height is L and its radius is R. Here u = x/x0 is a dimensionless variable, where x0 sets the scale of the field. Refer to the figure. Part (a) Integrate to find an expression for the total electric flux through the cylinder in terms of defined quantities and enter the expression. Part (b) For L = 8.7 m, R = 0.25 m, E0 = 4.5 V/m, and x0 = 1 m, find the value of the electric flux, in units of volt•meter, through the cylinder.
