Draw 2 objects of any shape (your choice) with one of the objects inside of the other. Be sure to consider symmetry. The objects don't have to be touching one another. The inner object is made of an insulating material while the outer object is made of a conducting material. 1. Draw a picture of your objects 2. Define a charge on each object. The charge on the insulator must be uniformly distributed throughout the object (thus it must have a thickness) 3. What is the charge on each surface of the conducting object? 4. What is the electric field at the center of your insulating object? Explain 5. What is the electic field a point inside your insulating object, but not at the center? Be sure to show on your diagram and in words (or equations) where you selected your point to be. Show your work. 6. What is the electric field at a point between your insulating and conducting objects? Be sure to identify the point on your figure and in words (or equations). Show your work. 7. What is the electric field at the center of your conducting object? Explain 8. What is the electric field outside of both objects? Be sure to identify the point at which you are determining the electric field. Show your work.
