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.

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.

A +7.00 µC particle is located at x = 0.0 cm, and a –9.0 μC particle is located at x = 40.0 cm. Where must a positive test charge be placed along the x–axis so that the net electric force on it is zero? Hint: In a FBD, place the test charge left of x = 0 cm, in between the two source charges, and right of x = 40 cm. Sketch the direction and relative magnitude of the net force at each location and determine where it might be possible for the net force to be zero. Then set the magnitudes of the forces equal to each other.
