An infinitely long, solid cylindrical insulator has radius R1 = 14 cm and volume charge density p. The electric field at the curved surface of the cylinder is measured to have magnitude E1 = 9.4 x 103 N/C. A solid sphere with radius R1 = 30 cm has the same charge density p. Determine the electric field E2 at the sphere's surface in terms of E1, R1, and R2.
A hollow non-conducting spherical shell has inner radius R1 = 9 cm and outer radius R2 = 18 cm. A charge Q = -45 nC lies at the center of the shell. The shell carries a spherically symmetric charge density ρ = Ar for R1 < r < R2 that increases linearly with radius, where A = 19 μC/m4.
a. What is the radial electric field at the point r = 0.5R1? Give the answer in units of kN/C, and take the positive direction outwards.
b. What is the radial electric field at the point r = 0.5(R1+R2)? Give your answer in units of kN/C.

- An insulating sphere with radius R contains a total non-uniform charge (i.e. Hydrogen atom) Q such that its volume charge density is 3B p= p312 where B is a constant and r is the distance from the center of the sphere. What is electric field at any point inside the sphere? Solution To find the electric field inside the non-uniformly charged sphere, we may apply integration method or the Gauss's Law method. Here, let us use the Gauss's law which is expressed as fE - dÃ= Q / epsilono %| We will choose a symmetric Gaussian surface, which is the surface of a sphere, then evaluate the dot product to obtain A = (Equation 1) The issue however is how much charge does the Gaussian surface encloses? Since, our sphere is an insulating material, charges will get distributed non-uniformly within the volume of the object. So, we look into the definition of volume charge density to find the enclosed charge.
