The figure below shows three regions in space separated by two infinite sheets of charge with surface charge densities σ and -σ. Find the magnitude and direction of the electric field in each region in terms of σ and ε. Given σ = 5 x10-6 C/m², find the acceleration vector components of an electron placed in Region 2.

In Figure (a) below, a particle of charge +Q produces an electric field of magnitude Epart at point P, at distance R from the particle. In Figure (b), that same amount of charge is spread uniformly along a circular arc that has radius R and subtends an angle 8. The charge on the arc produces an electric field of magnitude Earc at its center of curvature P. For what value of 0 (in º) does Earc = 0.75Epart?

The drawing shows a positive point charge q1, a second point charge q2 that may be positive or negative, and a spot labeled P, all on the same straight line. The distance d between the two charges is the same as the distance between q1 and the spot P. With q2 present, the magnitude of the net electric field at P is twice what it is when q1 is present alone. Given that q1 = 0.50 μ C, determine q2.

Show that for a charged circular ring of radius a and total charge Q, the electric field anywhere inside the plane of the ring would be zero if the electric field was inversely proportional to r not r2. Your answer is partly verbal and graphical.
Consider a charge configuration comprising two point sources, one carrying a positive charge and the other a negative charge. The magnitude of the negative charge is three times as large as the positive charge. Construct a careful sketch of the electric field around the configuration.
