Compute for the work done, in millijoules, in moving a 8-nC charge radially away from the center from a distance of 7 m to a distance of 11 m against the electric field inside a non-conducting spherical shell of inner radius 3 m, outer radius 17 m, and total charge 8 mC.
A sphere of radius R centered at the origin carries charge density ρ(r, θ) = k*(R/r^ 2) (R − 2r) sin θ where k is a constant, and r, θ are the usual spherical coordinates. Use the multipole expansion to find the approximate potential for points on the z-axis far from the sphere (z >> R).
A thin plastic rod of length L has a positive charge Q uniformly distributed along its length. We willcalculate the exact field due to the rod in the next homework set. In this set, we will approximatethe rod as several point sources and develop the Riemann sum as an intermediate step on the wayto writing an integral.For those aiming at a P rating, you may use L = 3.0m , Q = 17 mC, and y = 0.11m to calculate theanswer numerically first and substitute variables for them only as required in the problem statement.For those aiming at an E rating, leave L, Q and y as variables. Substitute numbers only whererequired in the problem statement, and only as a last step
