There is a thick wall that extends infinitely in the yz plane. The wall is made of insulating material and has a thickness of D in the x direction. The wall has a charge density of +ρ. At an arbitrary distance x (where x is less than half of D), we need to find the magnitude of the electric field inside the wall.

A small dent on the surface decreases the volume of the spherical conductor by 2%. Assume that the charge density on the surface does not change due to the dent and the electric field in the dent region remains same as other points on the surface.

- You are working for the summer at a research laboratory. Your research director has devised a scheme for holding small charged particles at fixed positions. The scheme is shown in the figure below. An insulating cylinder of radius a and length L ≫ a is positively charged and carries a uniform volume charge density ρ. A very thin tunnel is drilled through a diameter of the cylinder and two small spheres with charge q are placed in the tunnel. These spheres are represented by the blue dots in the figure. They find equilibrium positions at a distance of r on opposite sides of the axis of the cylinder. Your research director has had great success with this scheme. Determine the specific value of r at which equilibrium exists. (Use the following as necessary: q and ρ.)arrow_forwardIn this problem, we will apply Gauss's law to a conducting shell that surrounds a charge. This problem is spherically symmetric, which makes it an ideal candidate for a Gauss's law analysis. A hollow conductor carries a net charge of +7 nC. In its cavity, insulated from the conductor, is a small, isolated sphere with a net charge of -5 nC. How much charge is on the outer surface of the hollow conductor? How much is on the inner surface of the cavity? Figure Net charge = +7 nC +5 nC on cavity wall Gaussian surface +2 nC on outer surface 1 of 1 SOLUTION SET UP (Figure 1) shows our sketch. We know that in this electrostatic situation the electric field in the conducting material must be zero. We draw a Gaussian surface within the material of the conductor and apply Gauss's law. SOLVE We apply Gauss's law PE = Qencl/€o to the Gaussian surface shown in (Figure 1). The Gaussian surface lies within the conducting material, so E = 0 everywhere on that surface. By Gauss's law, E = Qencl/€0.…arrow_forwardA solid insulating cylinder having a radius a = 1m and length L = 3m is inside and concentric with a conducting cylindrical shell having an inner radius b = 2m and outer radius c = 3m.
