A thin rod lies on the z-axis with one end at - A and the other end at A, as shown in the diagram. A charge of Q is spread uniformly over the surface of the rod.

In 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.…

A 2D example which also has a non-uniform charge distribution: 5. Find the E-field at a point yo on the y-axis above a circular disk of variable surface charge density, o(r) = 0o(r/R)². (Note: this r is the radial coordinate and NOT the distance from dq to your point r so please do not cancel them) o(r) represents a distribution where the charge is largest at the edges of the disk and less towards the center. The disk is centered on the y-axis, lies in the x-z plane, and has radius R. Make a symmetry argument to explain why you only need to find the y-component. Do not plug in the value for k.
