Problem 3.19The potential at the surface of a sphere (radius R) is given by
Vo = k cos 30,
where k is a constant. Find the potential inside and outside the sphere, as well as
the surface charge density o (0) on the sphere. (Assume there's no charge inside or
outside the sphere.)
Problem 2.28 Use Eq. 2.29 to calculate the potential inside a uniformly charged solid sphere
of radius R and total charge q. Compare your answer to Prob. 2.21.
Problem 3.36 (3rd edition): Two long straight wires, carrying opposite uniform line charges +1,
are situated on either side of a long conducting cylinder (Fig. 3.39). The cylinder (which carries
no net charge) has radius R, and the wires are a distance "a" from the axis. Find the potential at
point 7. (Hint: you can use solution of problem 2.47)
