A uniform line charge and a uniform sheet charge, both infinite in extent, are located in free space along the y-axis and at x = -1 respectively. Determine E at point M(2, -1, 1) if the line charge density is 15 nc/m and the sheet charge density is 2 nC/m^2
Suppose a capacitor consists of two coaxial thin cylindrical conductors. The inner cylinder of radius ra has a charge of +Q, while the outer cylinder of radius rb has charge -Q. The electric field E at a radial distance r from the central axis is given by the function:
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.
