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.
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. Find an expression for the electric field when the rod is infinitely long. b. An infinitely long rod with uniform linear charge density also contains an infinite amount of charge. Explain why this still produces an electric field near the rod that is finite.

You measure the electric field strength at points directly above the center of a square plate carrying charge uniformly over its surface. The data are given below.

Three very large square planes of charge are arranged as shown (on edge) in the figure.

Suppose you design an apparatus in which a uniformly charged disk of radius R is to produce an electric field. The field magnitude is most important along the central perpendicular axis of the disk, at a point P at distance 3.80R from the disk (see Figure (a)). Cost analysis suggests that you switch to a ring of the same outer radius R but with inner radius R/3.80 (see Figure (b)). Assume that the ring will have the same surface charge density as the original disk. If you switch to the ring, by what part will you decrease the electric field magnitude at P?
The figure below shows part of an infinitely long, nonconducting line of charge with uniform positive charge per unit length ?. Determine the magnitude E of the electric field at a distance r from the line. Your answer should be expressed in variable form. (Use the following as necessary: ?, r, and ?0. Do not substitute numerical values; use variables only.)
Figure 1 shows four situations in which four very long rods extend into and out of the page (we see only their cross sections). The value below each cross section gives that particular rod’s uniform charge density in microcoulombs per meter. The rods are separated by either d or 2d as drawn, and a central point is shown midway between the inner rods. Rank the situations according to the magnitude of the net electric field at that central point, greatest first.
