A 10 cm long thin glass rod uniformly charged to +10 nC and a 10 cm long thin plastic rod uniformly charged to -10nC are placed side by side 4 cm apart.

a. Find the electric field at distances 1.0 cm, 2.0 cm and 3.0 cm from the glass rod along the line connecting the midpoints of the two rods. (Hint: treat the rods as a uniform line of charges.)

b. If the plastic rod is exchanged for a glass rod of the same size uniformly charged to +10 nC, what is the new electric field at 1.0 cm, 2.0 cm and 3.0 cm?

A solid cylinder with a mass of 3 kg, a radius of 25 cm, and a length of 40 cm is rolling across a horizontal floor with a linear speed of 12 m/s. The cylinder then comes to a ramp, and, as it is rolling up this ramp without slipping, it is slowing down. When the cylinder finally comes to a stop and begins rolling back down the ramp, how high is it above the floor?

Two very long solenoids have the same number of turns per unit length, and carry the same current, but the radius of the cross-section of solenoid #1 is twice that of solenoid #2. How do the magnetic field fluxes through the solenoids compare?

Select the best answer.

Select the best answer.

The flux through solenoid #2 is twice the flux through solenoid #1.

They are equal.
