A Sphere in a Sphere. A solid conducting sphere carrying charge q has radius a. It is inside a concentric hollow conducting sphere of inner radius b and outer radius c. The hollow sphere has no net charge. (a) Derive expressions for the electric field magnitude in terms of the distance r from the center for the regions rc. (b) Graph the magnitude of the electric field as a function of r from r=0 to r=2c. (c) What is the charge on the inner surface of the hollow sphere? (d) On the outer surface?

A single, isolated, large conducting plate, as shown in the figure, has a charge per unit area 6 on its surface. Because the plate is a conductor, the electric field at its surface is perpendicular to the surface and has magnitude E =o/¢,. (a) In Example 22-7 it was shown that the field caused by a large, uniformly charged sheet with charge per unit area o has magnitude E = 0/2¢, , exactly halfas much as for a charged conduction plate. Why is there a difference? (b) Regarding the charge distribution on the conducting plate as being two sheets of charge (one on each surface), each with charge per unit area 6, use the result of Example 22-7 and the principle of superposition to show that £ = 0 inside the plate and E=0/, outside the plate.

A slab of insulating material has thickness 2d and is oriented 0 that its faces are parallel to the yz-plane and given by the planes x=d and x= -d. The y and z- dimensions of the slab are very large compared to d and may be treated as essentially infinite. The slap has a uniform positive charge density p. (a) Explain why the electric field due to the slab at the center of the slab (x=0) is zero. (b) Using Gauss’s law, find the electric field due to the slab (magnitude and direction) at all points in space. 1S a @ By qymmelyy , we pale expect Ihe elechic E Ee gE field © be d equal roi fs magnihide -d] -% | * [ra ay * “but in opposite diveclione on eilher aide of x =O C the ¥3- plane) Hence, the field on the y3- plane will be 3er0- (b) Consider a egmmelrically placed friamakc Gaussian, pillbox” q volume = 2Az- Charge enclosed in it, ancl > @An Pp.
