Electric Charges and Fields

One of the fundamental properties is the electromagnetic property. Charge cannot be destroyed by any process and this contributes formally to the law of charge conservation.

(a) An insulating sphere carries a charge that is spread uniformly throughout its volume. A con- ducting sphere of the same size carries the same charge, but it is spread over its surface only with no charge in the interior (as it must for a conductor!) Compare the electric fields outside the insulator to the field outside the conductor. Compare the electric fields inside the insulator to the field inside the conductor. (b) Part (a) is an example of a general rule: A charge distributed through some volume will always produce an electric field whose value is a continuous function of position as we cross out of the charge (as we did going from inside to outside of the uniformly charged insulating sphere.) A charge that is distributed across an area (a thin layer of charge with surface charge density o) will produce a field whose value is a DIScontinuous function of position, and the discontinuity is only in the component that is perpendicular to the area and has a value equal to o/€0.…

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.
