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.)
Figure 1.52 shows a spherical shell of charge, of radius a and surface density σ, from which a small circular piece of radius b << a has been removed. What is the direction and magnitude of the field at the midpoint of the aperture? Solve this exercise using superposition.

A sphere of radius R carries a static radial polarization density
P(r) = kr,
r < R
where k is a constant and r is the radial vector from the center of the sphere.
(a) What are the dimensional units of the constant k?
(b) Calculate the surface areal bound charge density o(R, 0, ø) and the volume bound
charge density p(r).
