Question

A straight, nonconducting plastic wire 8.50 cm

long carries a charge density of 130 nC/m

distributed uniformly along its length. It is lying on a horizontal tabletop.

If the wire is now bent into a circle lying flat on the table, find the magnitude and direction of the electric field it produces at a point 5.00 cm

directly above its center.

very long and thin insulating rod has a charge of +Q uniformly distributed along its length. The rod has a length L. Use Gauss’s lawto determine the electric field near the middle of the rod a short distance, d, from the axis of the rod.
Five charged particles are equally spaced around a semicircle of radius 100 mm, with one particle at each end of the semicircle and the remaining three spaced equally between the two ends. The semicircle lies in the region x<0 of an xy plane, such that the complete circle is centered on the origin. If each particle carries a charge of 6.00 nC , what is the electric field at the origin? Where could you put a single particle carrying a charge of -5.00 nC to make the electric field magnitude zero at the origin?
