A hollow sphere, with inner radius a and outer radius b, has a volumetric charge distribution p = kr^2, where r is the distance from the center of the sphere outwards and k is a known constant. Using Gauss's law, find the electric field at r < a, a < r < b, and r > b, and graph the electric field as a function of r.
In empty space there is (-∞, 0) semi-infinite linear uniform and constant charge density ρl = 4 [C / m] on the z-axis. Calculate the electrostatic field that this charge density will create at point A (5,0,0). ke = 1 / 4πεWrite numerically the components of the electrostatic field in terms of the given quantities.
Volume charge density is located in free space as ρν = 2e−100r nC/m3 for 0 < r < 3 mm, and ρν = 0 elsewhere.
