Question
An infinite, nonconducting sheet has a surface charge density σ = +9.64 pC/m2. (a) How much work is done by the electric field due to the sheet if a particle of charge q0 = 1.60 × 10-19 C is moved from the sheet to a point P at distance d = 3.13 cm from the sheet? (b) If the electric potential V is defined to be zero on the sheet, what is V at P?

- A positive charge is evenly distributed on the surface of a metal sphere centered at the origin of the coordinate system. The positive charge produces an electric field that points outwardly in the radial direction. A positive test charge is fixed at a distance R₁ from the center of the coordinate system, far from the surface of the sphere. The electric potential at R₁ is 10V. The positive test charge is then allowed to move freely until it reaches a distance R₂=2R₁ from the center of the coordinate system.
