Suppose a uniformly charged (with a linear charge density z) wire starts at point 0 and rises vertically along the positive y axis to a length z.

A)

Determine the x-component of the electric field Ex at point (x,0). That is, calculate E? near one end of a long wire, in the plane perpendicular to the wire.

Express your answer in terms of the variables l, z, x, and appropriate constants.

B)

Determine the y-components of the electric field Ey at point (x,0). Assume x>0.

Express your answer in terms of the variables l, z, x, and appropriate constants.

C) If the wire extends from y=0 to y= infinity , so that l=infinity, show that E? makes a 45? angle to the horizontal for any x.

Shown is a uniformly charged inner insulating sphere with radius a and with charge density given by ρ = ρ0(r3/a3). Outside of it is a conducting shell of inner radius b and outer radius c. This spherical shell also has double the charge of the inner non-conducting sphere. (So, if the inner sphere had charge “+Q”, the outer shell has charge “+2Q”.) The space between the sphere and the shell is empty. a) Describe/draw the charge distribution on the outer...
