Question
Given that the electric field in slab 1 is -(sigma)/ 4*e_0 z-hat direction and the electric field in slab 2 is - (sigma)/ 3*e_0 z-hat direction.
The bound surface charges were found to be -(sigma)/4 for slab 1, -(sigma)/6 for slab 2, and the boundary in between slab 1 and slab 2 is - 5(sigma)/12.
The bound volume charge is 0.
Question: Now that you know all the charge (free and bound), recalculate the field in each slab, and confirm
your answer to the electric field given above.

- Consider a spherically symmetric distribution of charge where the charge density as a function of distance from the center is given by ? (r) = 9.3 r4 x 10-12 C/m3 (note the 10-12 will cancel the 10-12 in ?0). This charge distribution extends from r = 0 to r = 5.3 m, and beyond that the charge density is 0. Calculate the magnitude of the electric field r = 8.1 m away from the center of the distribution, in N/C. Use ?0 = 8.85 x 10-12 F/m.

Here's (roughly) how he did it. He removed an electron from an initially neutral droplet of oil with diameter 0.5 ??μm. In a vacuum, he positioned the droplet between two metallic plates separated by 6 mm and fiddled with the potential (voltage) across the plates until the droplet would hover against the force of gravity. Droplets of this size with +e charge would hover, but only for a particular voltage (otherwise they would sink or rise). Given the parameters stated here, and the fact that the density of the oil was 831 kg/m3, what was the voltage that made the droplets hover? (give your answer with 0.1 V precision)arrow_forward
