A large non-conducting slab of area A and thickness d has a charge density rho=Cx^4. The origin is through the center of the slab. That is to say, it bisects the slab into two equal volumes of d/2 thickness and with an area of A, with -d/2 to the left of x=0, and d/2 to the right of x=0. Express all answers in terms of C, x, and any known constants. Gaussian surface 1 (cylinder) is located such that its volume encompasses the charge contained within the slab. Apply Gauss's Law to cylinder 1 to determine the electric field to the left and to the right of the slab. Make sure you incude the domains over which the field is valid.

Consider two concentric insulating cylinders of infinite length. The inner cylinder is solid with radius R, while the outer cylinder is a hollow shell with inner radius a and outer radius b. Both cylinders have the same volume charge density of +ρ. Using Gauss’s Law, find the electric field as a function of r (where r= 0 at the central axis) in the interval a≤r < b. Note: Your final equation should be in terms of given parameters of ρ,a,b,R, and r.
Two non-conducting spheres of radii R1 and R2 are uniformly charged with charge densities p1 and p2 , respectively. They are separated at center-to-center distance a (see below). Find the electric field at point P located at a distance r from the center of sphere 1 and is in the direction from the line joining the two spheres assuming their charge densities are not affected by the presence of the other sphere. (Hint: Work one sphere at a time and use the superposition principle.)
