A plastic rod 1.4 m long is rubbed all over with wool, and acquires a charge of -5e-08 coulombs. We choose the center of the rod to be the origin of our coordinate system, with the x-axis extending to the right, the y-axis extending up, and the z-axis out of the page. In order to calculate the electric field at location A = m, we divide the rod into 8 pieces, and approximate each piece as a point charge located at the center of the piece. h b d j zero magnitude (a) What is the length of one of these pieces?

Q. 30: A hollow spherical conductor of radius R has a charge Q on it. A small dent on the surface decreases the volume of the spherical conductor by 2%. Assume that the charge density on the surface does not change due to the dent and the electric field in the dent region remains same as other points on the surface. (a) AE is the electrostatic energy stored in the electric field in the shallow dent region and E is the total electrostatic energy of the spherical shell. Find the ΔΕ ratio E (b) Using the ratio obtained in part (a) calculate the percentage change in capacitance of the sphere due to the dent.
