Below is a solid sphere of insulating materials (meaning that once placed, charge will not move around even when it feels a force). This sphere has a changing charge density given by the equation below. This tells you that there is more charge near the outer edges (when r is larger) then near the center (when r is small) since the charge density is proportional to r^2. In the image R is the total radius of the sphere and r is the distance from the center you will be asked about. There values are below. You have to calculate the amount of charge enclosed with the radius of r to find the electric field. You'll need to integrate to do this - that's where the charge density equation below will be used. Use Gauss's Law to find the Electric Field magnitude at a distance r from the center of the sphere. Make sure to think about charge enclosed and how to find it. It is a little more complicated in this problem. Be careful with your 2 radial values (R and r).
You are working for the summer at a research laboratory. Your research director has devised a scheme for holding small charged particles at fixed positions. The scheme is shown in the figure below. An insulating cylinder of radius a and length L ≫ a is positively charged and carries a uniform volume charge density ρ. A very thin tunnel is drilled through a diameter of the cylinder and two small spheres with charge q are placed in the tunnel. These spheres are represented by the blue dots in the figure. They find equilibrium positions at a distance of r on opposite sides of the axis of the cylinder. Your research director has had great success with this scheme. Determine the specific value of r at which equilibrium exists. (Use the following as necessary: q and ρ.)
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.
