A very long, solid insulating cylinder has radius R; bored along its entire length is a cylindrical hole with radius a. The axis of the hole is a distance b from the axis of the cylinder, where a < b < R (Fig. P22.58). The solid material of the cylinder has a uniform volume charge density ρ.

- A pyramid has a square base with an area of 4.00 m2 and a height of 3.5 m. Its walls are four isosceles triangles. The pyramid is in a uniform electric field of 655 N/C pointing downward (Fig. P25.13).

A small dent on the surface decreases the volume of the spherical conductor by 2%. Assume that the charge density on the surface does not change due to the dent and the electric field in the dent region remains same as other points on the surface. (a) AE is the electrostatic energy stored in the electric field in the shallow dent region and E is the total electrostatic energy of the spherical shell. Find the ΔΕ ratio E (b) Using the ratio obtained in part (a) calculate the percentage change in capacitance of the sphere due to the dent.arrow_forwardAn insulating sphere with radius 0.120 m has +0.900 nC (nano coulumb) of charge uniformly distributed throughout its volume.

This problem is spherically symmetric, which makes it an ideal candidate for a Gauss's law analysis. A hollow conductor carries a net charge of +7 nC. In its cavity, insulated from the conductor, is a small, isolated sphere with a net charge of -5 nC. How much charge is on the outer surface of the hollow conductor? How much is on the inner surface of the cavity? Figure Net charge = +7 nC +5 nC on cavity wall Gaussian surface +2 nC on outer surface 1 of 1 SOLUTION SET UP (Figure 1) shows our sketch. We know that in this electrostatic situation the electric field in the conducting material must be zero. We draw a Gaussian surface within the material of the conductor and apply Gauss's law. SOLVE We apply Gauss's law PE = Qencl/€o to the Gaussian surface shown in (Figure 1). The Gaussian surface lies within the conducting material, so E = 0 everywhere on that surface. By Gauss's law, E = Qencl/€0.…arrow_forward
