A cylinder of constant, positive charge density p and radius R has a cylindrical hole in it. The hole, of radius R/2 is not co-axial but centered at r = R/2 as in the diagram of the cross-section below. Find the electric field (magnitude and direction) at points A and B, both at r = R/2, but at different angles. Hint: A hole is really just a volume of no net charge that can be modeled as two overlapping volumes: one of positive charge density and one of negative charge density (but same magnitude).

For this question, Figure 2 (see image). Consider the electric field of a disk of radius R and surface charge density σ along the z-axis as: (see image) a) Use this expression to find the electric field of the disk very close to the disk i.e. Z << R such that the disk looks like an infinite plane with surface charge density σ. b) Use a Gaussian cylinder (pill box) to find the electric field of the plate at this limit (Z << R such that the disk looks like an infinite plane), and compare it with your answer from part a.

The figure below shows a very large nonconducting sheet that has a uniform surface charge density of σ = −2.0 μC/m2; it also shows a particle of charge Q = 7.40 μC, at distance d from the sheet. Both are fixed in place. If d = 0.205 m, at what positive and negative coordinate on the x-axis (other than infinity) is the net electric field net of the sheet and particle zero? (a) positive coordinatex =___________m(b) negative coordinatex =_____________m(c) If d = 0.920 m, at what coordinate on the x axis is net = 0?x = ______________m (please show the units so that I can follow along easier)

An infinitely long, solid insulating cylinder with radius Ra is placed concentric within a conducting cylindrical shell of inner radius R, and outer radius Re. The inner cylinder has a uniform volume charge density +[pl, and the outer cylinder has a net linear charge density of -3121. Assume Ip Rål> 132 for all parts. a. Sketch the scenario, indicating how much charge is in each region/surface. What are the charge densities on the inner and outer surfaces of the conducting cylinder?
