Chapter 21, Problem 52P
(III) Uniform plane of charge. Charge is distributed uniformly over a large square plane of side ℓ, as shown in Fig. 21–68. The charge per unit area (C/m2) is σ. Determine the electric field at a point Ρ a distance z above the center of the plane, in the limit ℓ → ∞. [Hint: Divide the plane into long narrow strips of width dy, and use the result of Example 21–11; then sum the fields due to each strip to get the total field at P.]

(II) The 1/r² form of Coulomb's law implies the following:
(i) The electric field is zero at all points inside a uniformly
charged shell. (ii) The electric field outside a uniformly
charged sphere can be found by treating the charge as being
concentrated at the center. Use these facts to show that
within a uniformly charged sphere of radius R having a
volume charge density p C/m³, the field strength increases
linearly with the distance r from the center. That is, Ex r
for r < R.
(3) The purpose of this problem is to find the electric field of a ring of charge located in
the x-
z plane and has a diameter d. The ring has a total charge Q. To accomplish this, we
will break the ring of charge into point charges. All answers should be given in terms given
parameters and the coordinate 0. The field point, P, is located at (0, yo, 0).
(a) What is the charge dq of the point charges?
(b) What is the value of î for the point charges:
(c) What are the bounds of integration to find the total electric field?
(d) If instead of a full ring, we have half of a ring, which (if any) of your answers to parts
(a) - (c) change? Which (if any) will stay the same?
(II) The l/r2 form of Coulomb's law implies the following:
(i) The electric field is zero at all points inside a uniformly
charged shell. (ii) The electric field outside a uniformly
charged sphere can be found by treating the charge as being
concentrated at the center. Use these facts to show that
within a uniformly charged sphere of radius R having a
volume charge density p C/m3, the field strength increases
linearly with the distance r from the center. That is, E ex r
