Chapter 21, Problem 74P

A solid sphere of radius R carries a uniform volume charge density ρ. A hole of radius R/2 occupies a region from the center to the edge of the sphere, as shown in Fig. 21.38. Show that the electric field everywhere in the hole points horizontally and has magnitude ρR/6ε0. Hint: Treat the hole as a superposition of two charged spheres with opposite charges.

A charge of uniform linear density 2.00 nC/m is distributed along a long, thin, nonconducting rod. The rod is coaxial with a long conducting cylindrical shell (inner radius = 4.20 cm, outer radius = 9.80 cm). The net charge on the shell is zero. (a) What is the magnitude of the electric field at distance r = 14.0 cm from the axis of the shell? What is the surface charge density on the (b) inner and (c) outer surface of the shell?
In the figure a sphere, of radius a = 13.2 cm and charge q = 6.00×10-6 C uniformly distributed throughout its volume, is concentric with a spherical conducting shell of inner radius b = 37.0 cm and outer radius c = 39.0 cm . This shell has a net charge of -q. Find expressions for the electric field, as a function of the radius r, within the sphere and the shell (r< a). Evaluate for r=6.6 cm. Find expressions for the electric field as a function of the radius r, between the sphere and the shell (a< r <b). Evaluate for r=25.1 cm. Find expressions for the electric field as a function of the radius r, inside the shell (b< r <c). Evaluate for r=38.0 cm
