Consider the following conversation: Student 1: "The net flux through the surface in each case must be the same." Student 2: "The electric field at the surface in case B is weaker than in case A, because the surface is farther from the charge. Since the flux is proportional to the electric field strength, the net flux through the surface must also be smaller in case B.' Student 3: "I was comparing A and C. In C the charge outside changes the field over the whole surface. The areas are the same, so the net flux through the surface must be different." Which student(s) do you agree with? Explain.

Problem 4: who is right? Two parallel, infinite planes of charge have charge densities +20 and -o as shown in Fig. 1 They are at a distance L, from each other. Three students are asked to determine the electric field at points A and B, at a distance L above the top plane, and at a distance L below the bottom plane, respectively, as shown in the figure. Each student comes up with a different answer and a different explanation. Read carefully their statements below. The students are reminded that the electric field magnitude of an infinite plane of charge with charge density a is E = . +26 3+26 Figure 1: Two cquivalent views of the two infinite parallel planes • Student 1 draws the sketch in Fig. 2 [top] and says: "I think from the outside we can think of the two planes as a single infinite plane with charge density +20 - o =0, so then we know the electric field must be a/(2) pointing upwards at point A and also o/(2c) pointing doumwards at B". • Student 2 draws the sketch in Fig. 2…

Problem 1 Shown on the right is an electroscope. The sphere on the top, the leaves at the bot- tom, and the rod connecting them are made by conducting material. The spherical shell that blocks the influence of external electric fields is also made by conducting material but the contact with the rod is insulated, so that charges will not shuffle between the rod and the spherical shell. The electroscope is first negatively charged by touching the sphere with a negatively charged plastic plate. The leaves spread apart and we remove the plastic plate. We then bring a positively charged glass bar close to the sphere without touching the sphere. What happens to the leaves? Leaves (A) One leaf moves higher, the other lower. (B) Nothing changes to the leaves (C) The leaves spread farther apart. (D) The leaves get closer together. Clearly specify/circle your answer, and give a brief explanation.
