Problem 2.21 Find the potential inside and outside a uniformly charged solid sphere whose
radius is R and whose total charge is q. Use infinity as your reference point. Compute the
gradient of V in each region, and check that it yields the correct field. Sketch V(r).
Problem 2.22 Find the potential a distances from an infinitely long straight wire
that carries a uniform line charge λ. Compute the gradient of your potential, and
check that it yields the correct field.
1.13 Two infinite grounded parallel conducting planes are separated by a distance d. A
point charge q is placed between the planes. Use the reciprocation theorem of
Green to prove that the total induced charge on one of the planes is equal to (-q)
times the fractional perpendicular distance of the point charge from the other plane.
(Hint: As your comparison electrostatic problem with the same surfaces choose one
whose charge densities and potential are known and simple.)
