A charged nonconducting rod, with a length of 2.00 m and a cross-sectional area of 4.00 cm2, lies along the positive side of an x axis with one end at the origin. The volume charge density r is charge per unit volume in coulombs per cubic meter. How many excess electrons are on the rod if r is (a) uniform, with a value of -4.00 mC/m3, and (b) nonuniform, with a value given by r = bx2, where b=-2.00 mC/m5?
A charged nonconducting rod has a length L of 2.0 m and a cross-sectional area A of 8.0
cm?; it is placed along the positive side of an x axis with one end at the origin. The
volume charge density p is the charge per unit volume, with the units of coulomb per
cubic meter.
a) How many excess electrons are on the rod if the rod's volume charge density pu is
uniform with a value of –10 µC/m³? How does that compare to the total number of
electrons you would estimate would be in the rod? (By compare, just a ballpark estimate-
to within several orders of magnitude, factors of ten).
b) What is an expression for the number of excess electrons on the rod if the rod's
volume charge is nonuniform and is given instead by pN=ax³ where a is a constant?
c) What value of a is necessary for the rod in part b to have the same number of excess
electrons as the rod in part a)?
A cylinder of length L=5m has a radius R=2 cm and linear charge density 2=300 µC/m. Although the
linear charge density is a constant through the cylinder, the charge density within the cylinder changes
with r. Within the cylinder, the charge density of the cylinder varies with radius as a function p( r) =p.r/R.
Here R is the radius of the cylinder and R=2 cm and p, is just a constant that you need to determine.
b. Find the constant po in terms of R and 2. Then plug in values of R and 1. to find the value for
the constant p.
c. Assuming that L>>R, use Gauss's law to find out the electric field E inside the cylinder (rR) in terms of 1. and R.
d. Based on your result from problem c, find the electric field E at r=1cm and r=4cm.
