Below is a solid sphere of insulating materials (meaning that once placed, charge will not move around even when it feels a force). This sphere has a changing charge density given by the equation below. This tells you that there is more charge near the outer edges (when r is larger) then near the center (when r is small) since the charge density is proportional to r^2. In the image R is the total radius of the sphere and r is the distance from the center you will be asked about. There values are below. You have to calculate the amount of charge enclosed with the radius of r to find the electric field. You'll need to integrate to do this - that's where the charge density equation below will be used. Use Gauss's Law to find the Electric Field magnitude at a distance r from the center of the sphere. Make sure to think about charge enclosed and how to find it. It is a little more complicated in this problem. Be careful with your 2 radial values (R and r).

1. a nonconducting rod of length L has charge -q uniformly distributed along its length. (a) What is the linear charge density of the rod? (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. Show that your answer to (b) reduces to the electric field of a point charge for a >> L.
A cylinder of length L=5m has a radius R=2 cm and linear charge density 2=300 µC/m. Although the linear charge density is a constant through the cylinder, the charge density within the cylinder changes with r. Within the cylinder, the charge density of the cylinder varies with radius as a function p( r) =p.r/R. Here R is the radius of the cylinder and R=2 cm and p, is just a constant that you need to determine. b. Find the constant po in terms of R and 2. Then plug in values of R and 1. to find the value for the constant p. c. Assuming that L>>R, use Gauss's law to find out the electric field E inside the cylinder (rR) in terms of 1. and R. d. Based on your result from problem c, find the electric field E at r=1cm and r=4cm.
