A fifth arrangement (which would be labeled e) is like that in d except the rod in the fourth quadrant has charge −Q. Rank the five arrangements according to the magnitude of the electric field at the center of curvature, greatest first.

Sphere A is a good conductor. Sphere B is an insulator, and its charge is distributed uniformly throughout its volume.

Find (a) the charge density on each face of the plate, (b) the electric field just above the plate, and (c) the electric field just below the plate. You may assume the charge density is uniform.arrow_forward6 In Fig. 22-27, two identical circu- lar nonconducting rings are centered on the same line with their planes perpendicular to the line. Each ring has charge that is uniformly distrib- uted along its circumference. The rings each produce electric fields at points along the line. For three situations, the charges on rings A and B are, respectively, (1) qo and 9o, (2) -90 and -90, and (3) - and qo. Rank the situations according to the magnitude of the net electric field at (a) point P1 midway between the rings, (b) point P, at the center of ring B, and (c) point P3 to the right of ring B. greatest first.

In Fig. 22-64b, that same amount of charge is spread uniformly along a circular arc that has radius R and subtends an angle 0. The charge on the arc pro- +Q/e/2 duces an electric field e/2 of magnitude Eare at its cen- ter of curvature P. For what value of e does Eare 0.500Epart?

Find the magnitude of the electric field at point "0". 001|2 R Fig-89arrow_forward*61. ssm A cube is located with one corner situated at the origin of an x, y, z coordinate system. One of the cube's faces lies in the x, y plane, another in the y, z plane, and another in the x, z plane. In other words, the cube is in the first octant of the coordinate system. The edges of the cube are 0.20 m long. A uniform electric field is parallel to the x, y plane and points in the direction of the +y axis. The magnitude of the field is 1500 N/C. (a) Using the outward normal for each face of the cube, find the electric flux through each of the six faces. (b) Add the six values obtained in part (a) to show that the electric flux through the cubical surface is zero, as Gauss' law predicts, since there is no net charge within the cube.arrow_forward8 Go In Fig. 22-36, the four parti- cles are fixed in place and have charges 91= 92= +5e, q3 = +3e, and q4 = -12e.
