Problem 2: A conducting sphere is mounted on an insulating stand, and initially it is electrically neutral. A student wishes to induce acharge distribution similar to what is shown here. The student may connect the sphere to ground or leave it electrically isolated. The studentmay also place a charged insulated rod near to the sphere without touching it.+++ A The diagrams below indicate different choices for whether or not to include a ground connection as well as the sign of the charge on and the placement of aninsulating rod. Choose a diagram that would produce the desired charge distribution. (If there are multiple correct answers, you need to select only one of them.)OO++++++++++++O++++

A standard coaxial cable consists of a cylindrical central conducting wire, a layer of surrounding insulation, a flexible conducting pipe-like sheath, and a final outer layer of insulation as shown in the figure. Imagine a very long straight stretch of such a wire, and suppose that the inner wire has a charge per unit length of λ and the sheath has a charge per unit lenth of -λ (where λ is a positive constant). a. Argue that the charge must reside in thin layers on the wire's outer surface and the sheath's inner surface. b.

The graph will look discontinuous in places. Explain why this does not violate the continuity principle.
