(b)(i) The center of a dielectric spherical shell is located at (0,2,0) with inner radius a = 1 cm and outer
radius b = 3 cm. The volume charge density of the shell is pv = 2n C/m3. In addition, an infinite long wire
with line charge density pl = 5n C/m is on the x-y plane at y = -3. With an aid of diagram, find the electric
field intensity, E due to the infinitely long wire at point (0, 0, 0).

long wire.

lar nonconducting rings are centered
on the same line with their planes
perpendicular to the line. Each ring
has charge that is uniformly distrib-
uted along its circumference. The
rings each produce electric fields at points along the line. For three
situations, the charges on rings A and B are, respectively, (1) qo and
9o, (2) -90 and -90, and (3) - and qo. Rank the situations
