A net flux of 6.75×10^4N⋅m2/C passes inward through the surface of a sphere of radius 5.25 cm. a. What is the net charge, in coulombs, contained within the sphere? b. Which statement best describes the distribution of the charge inside the sphere? All of the charge is concentrated in a point charge. The flux indicates the net charge enclosed in the surface, but it yields no information about the distribution of the charge. The charge can be distributed in many different ways, but the distribution must be spherically symmetric. Both positive and negative charges are contained within the sphere, but most of the charges cancel yielding the net charge obtained in the previous step. The charge is uniformly distributed throughout the volume of the sphere. The charge is distributed over a thin spherical shell within the sphere.
Consider eight charges at the corners of a cube with side length a, and its axes parallel to the Cartesian coordinate axes, and its center at the origin, (0,0,0). a.

If the four charges where z= a/2 are +q and the other four are -q , evaluate the electric field along the x axis, and explain its behavior as x goes to infinity. c.

Problem 2: a conducting sphere A conducting sphere has a positive net charge Q and radius R. (Note: since the sphere is conducting all the charge is distributed on its surface.) a) By reflecting on the symmetry of the charge distribution of the system, determine what the E-field lines look like outside the sphere for any r > R. Describe the E-field in words and with a simple sketch. Make sure to also show the direction of the E-field lines. b) Consider a point P, shown in the figure below, at a distance rp from the center of the sphere.

Electric field of a ring of charge 1. Consider a thin ring of radius R. The ring is uniformly charged with a total charge Q. Write an expression for the linear charge density à of the ring. 2.

Make a small sketch of the ring and its axis of symmetry.
