For this question, Figure 2 (see image). Consider the electric field of a disk of radius R and surface charge density σ along the z-axis as: (see image) a) Use this expression to find the electric field of the disk very close to the disk i.e. Z << R such that the disk looks like an infinite plane with surface charge density σ. b) Use a Gaussian cylinder (pill box) to find the electric field of the plate at this limit (Z << R such that the disk looks like an infinite plane), and compare it with your answer from part a.
You have a very (infinitely) long solid conducting cylinder with length L, base radius R, and total charge +Q. (a) Use Gauss’s law to find the electric field vector inside and outside the cylinder. Explain your reasoning. You can give a verbal description of the electric field vector direction. (b) Similar to how we found the electric field outside a conducting sphere to look like that of a point particle, what does the electric field outside the cylinder look like? (c) Would the electric field inside the cylinder stay the same if the cylinder was instead insulating and uniformly charged? Explain why or why not?
The volume charge density of a spherical charge distribution is given by rho(r) = rho0e−alpha(r), where rho0 and alpha are constants. What is the electric field produced by this charge distribution?

Suppose we have a charge, q1=1 μC. This charge makes an electric field some distance r=60 cm away from it. Now suppose our measurement of q1 is only accurate to within 0.1 μC, and our measurement of r is only accurate to within 2 cm. What is the uncertainty in our field calculation due only to the uncertainty in the charge separation r? for the uncertainty of q I got 2500 N/C. I keep getting 1667.67 N/C for the uncertainty for the separation of r but that is wrong
Consider the special shape pictured in the diagram below. It is a cylinder, centered on the origin with its axis oriented along z, and it has been partially hollowed to leave two cone-shaped cavities at the top and bottom of the cylinder. The radius of the object is a, its height is 2a, and the solid part of the object (the shaded region that is visible in the rightmost panel of the illustration above, which shows a drawing of the cross-section of the object) has a uniform volume charge density of po. Assume that the object is spinning counter clockwise about its cylinder axis at an angular frequency of w. Which of the following operations is part of the calculation of the magnitude of the current density that is associated with the motion of the rotating object as a function of r (select all that apply)?

Now suppose our measurement of q1 is only accurate to within 0.1 μC, and our measurement of r is only accurate to within 1 cm. a)If we were to calculate the electric field made by that charge at the indicated distance, what would be the uncertainty in our calculation due only to the uncertainty in the size of q1? b)What is the uncertainty in our field calculation due only to the uncertainty in the charge separation r? c)What is the total uncertainty in our electric field calculation due to the uncertainty in the size of q1 and the uncertainty in the charge separation r?
Suppose we have a charge, q1=1 μC. This charge makes an electric field some distance r=73 cm away from it. Now suppose our measurement of q1 is only accurate to within 0.2 μC, and our measurement of r is only accurate to within 1.5 cm. What is the uncertainty in our field calculation due only to the uncertainty in the charge separation r? Every time I do this calculation I get a different number all of which have been wrong. I have gotten 694.06, 693.097, 46.2, .69405, and 71.56. Can you please help me with this?
Consider the following situation. A positive charge q is located a distance R from a charged wire bent into a circular arc as drawn. The arc has radius R, a net positive charge Q, and an angular extent of 30° (T/6 radians) centered on the same axis as q. 15° a. Calculate the electric field (vector) the arc of wire produces at q's location. Give the vector in component form. The vector only has one component. You should write down in words an argument using the problem's symmetry for this. b. Find the net force (vector) on q by the arc of wire. Give the vector in component form. c. Compare this force to the force produced by a positive point charge Q located a distance R away from q. Which force is greater, (b) or (c), and by what fraction? Show this algebraically.

A negatively charged particle is moving at an angle with a component of velocity in the +y-direction when it enters a region with a uniform electric field pointing in the +y-direction.
