(Gauss' law 3) The Gaussian surface is a sphere with a radius of 10 cm. At the center of the sphere is a point charge. At the Gaussian surface (10 cm from the point charge) an electric field of 5000 N/C is directed away from the point charge. a) Draw the Gaussian surface around the point charge. Show electric field vectors at the surface. b) Use Gauss' law to find the charge enclosed by the surface. c) The charge you...
When we applied Gauss's Law to find the electric field of an infinite sheet of charge, we also treated the sheet as if it was very thin, like a sheet of paper. But if the sheet has an appreciable thickness, we can investigate the field within the sheet as well. Here are two views of a thick sheet of charge with my suggestion for a Gaussian surface, viewed both head-on and at an angle so you can see the distances:...
Problem A.1 - Calculate electric flux f5) The electric field due to an infinite line of charge is perpendicular to the line and has magnitude E . Consider an imaginary cylinder with radius e-25 cm and length L = 40 cm that has an infinite line of positive charge running along its axis. The charge per unit length is 3 HC/m. Do not use Gauss's Law, but actually calculate the flux! a) What is the electric flux through the cylinder...

1) Consider Fig. 12, which shows an infinite line of charge which contains a uniform charge of a coulombs in every meter. You will now use Gauss' Law to derive an equation for the electric field around a line of charge. Fig. 12 Describe the electric field in the region surrounding the charge. (Draw a few sample lines) Is this electric field symmetrical (spherically, cylindrically... Using this information, choose a notional surface enclosing one meter of the line of charge...
Derive the expression for the electric field near an infinite line of charge with uniform charge density λ by integrating the Coulomb’s law field from every infinitesimal amount of charge along the line. This is a great op- portunity to use Mathematica to do the integral. If you get stuck, refer to Example 20.7 on pages 337-338 of the text. If you use Mathematica , attach a pdf copy of the notebook or copy the relevant sections to your writeup.
Find the electric field a distance z above a circular ring carrying a constant line charge. For extra credit you may derive the electric field a distance z above a disk carrying a constant surface charge density.
