Transcribed Image Text:Flux and nonconducting shells. A charged particle is suspended at the center of two concentric spherical shells that are very thin and
made of nonconducting material. Figure (a) shows a cross section. Figure (b) gives the net flux O through a Gaussian sphere centered
on the particle, as a function of the radius r of the sphere. The scale of the vertical axis is set by ®, = 3.0 x 105 N-m²/C. (a) What is the

- Two spherical, hollow conductors are concentrically nested as shown in the cross-sectional diagram below and electrically isolated from each other. A net charge of -3 nC is divided between the conductors, with a total of -12 nC on the inner conductor and +9 nC on the outer one. The charges are, of course, free to move between the surfaces within each shell but cannot move from one shell to the other. The inner conductor has an inner radius of a=2 cm, outer radius of b=3 cm. The outer conductor has an inner radius of c=6 cm, an outer radius of d=8 cm. a (a) In equilibrium, all of the excess charge is found on the surfaces. Why is there no charge between a and b, nor between c and d? (b) Determine the net charge on each surface (ie how much charge is there at r = a, at r = b, at r = c and at r= = d).

The smaller shell has an inner radius of 0.100m and an outer radius of 0.200m. The larger shell has an inner radius of 0.300m and and outer radius of 0.400m.

Determine the net charge on each of the four surfaces (r = 0.1,0.2, 0.3, 0.4) and make a sketch that indicates BOTH the electric field lines and the surface charge densities.
