A point charge of charge +Q is at the center of a spherical shell of charge with charge -3Q. The shell has radius R. Find the magnitude and direction (toward the center or away from the center) of the electric field at a distance r< R from the point charge and r> R from the point charge in terms or Q, r, R, and any constants (i.e. ke). (Hint: You can either use Gauss' Law or superposition for this!)

(b) What is the electric field at point P, a distance a from the end of the rod? (c) If P were very far from the rod compared to L, the rod would look like a point charge.

Two charges are located on an x-axis (as shown in the figure). One charge is located at the origin (q, = 0.40 µC). The other charge (92= -0.20 μC) is located at x-a, where a = 2.0 m. Calculate the x- and y-components of the electric field at a point P on the y-axis located at y= 2.0 m. From these components calculate the electric field magnitude and its angle with respect to the +x-axis (with angles increasing going counter-clockwise from +x, such that 90° corresponds to the y-axis).

Early in the 20th century, a leading model of the structure of the atom was that of English physicist J. J. Thomson (the discoverer of the electron). In Thomson’s model, an atom consisted of a sphere of positively charged material in which were embedded negatively charged electrons, like chocolate chips in a ball of cookie dough. Consider such an atom consisting of one electron with mass m and charge -e, which may be regarded as a point charge, and a uniformly charged sphere of charge +e and radius R. By that time time, it was known that excited atoms emit light waves of only certain frequencies. In his model, the frequency of emitted light is the same as the oscillation frequency of the electron (s) problems in the atom. What radius (in millimeter) would a Thomson-model atom need for it to produce red light of frequency 4.57 x 1014 Hz? (Don't express your answer in scientific notation)

A horizontal charged disk has a radius of 0.06 m and a uniform surface charge density of p, = 2.34 x 10 C/m². It is centered on the z axis and is located 0.2 m below the xy plane.

There are two uncharged concentric conducting spherical shells and a separate point charge. The smaller shell has an inner radius of 0.100m and an outer radius of 0.200m. The larger shell has an inner radius of 0.300m and and outer radius of 0.400m. A point charge of +10.0μC is placed between the two shells at a radius of 0.250m from the origin. Determine the net charge on each of the four surfaces (r = 0.1,0.2, 0.3, 0.4) and make a sketch that indicates BOTH the electric field lines and the surface charge densities. (this sketch does not have to be exactly mathematically correct, but use intuition)
