Question

Consider a wire made of a good conductor with a length, L, radius, R, and a total charge of +Q.

a. What assumptions can be made about area if the wire is very long? ? >> ? (Hint: recall surface area of a cylinder)

b. Calculate the Electric Field at the surface of the conducting wire. Convert the final answer to units of “k”. Is this the same as the Electric Field of a point charge or a conducting sphere? Distance (r) Electric Field Strength (E)

c. Calculate the Electric Flux at the surface of the wire. How does the Electric Flux of the wire compare the Electric Flux of the sphere? Why?

d. Calculate the Electric Field strength at a distance, a (such that a > 0) away from the conducting wire.

e. Calculate the Electric Flux at a distance, a (such that a > 0) How does the Electric Flux compare to the Electric Flux calculated in part c?

f. What should be the Electric Field inside the wire?
