Electric Charges and Fields

One of the fundamental properties is the electromagnetic property. Charge cannot be destroyed by any process and this contributes formally to the law of charge conservation.

3. A solid, insulating sphere of radius a has a uniform charge density throughout its volume and a total charge of Q. Concentric with this sphere is an
uncharged, conducting hollow sphere whose inner and outer radii are band c as shown in the figure below. We wish to understand completely the charges
and electric fields at all locations. (Assume Q is positive. Use the following as necessary: Q, o, a, b, c and r.)

(c) What charge is contained within a sphere of radius r when a <r<b?
(d) From this value, find the magnitude of the electric field for r when a <r < b.
(e) Now consider r when b < r < c. What is the magnitude of the electric field for this range of values of r?
(f) From this value, what must be the charge on the inner surface of the hollow sphere?

4. Three conductor plates (Figure 2) are placed vertically and loaded Q1, Q2, and Q3 charges respectively. Both the sides of plates have surface charge density σ and σb (i=1, 2, and 3). If the surface area of each plate is A and the distance between plates is t, then calculate the surface charge densities σ, and σ for each plate. Note: consider that the plate is large enough to use infinitive symmetry approach. 01a 01b 02a 02b Оза 03b Q1 Q2 Q3 Figure 4
