At the center of the spherical dielectric shell of outer radius R1 and inner radius R2 is a positive point charge Q. The dielectric constant of the shell is ek . Determine the electric field strength, electric potential flux, and electric flux density as a function of the radial distance R.
An electron is shot directly toward the center of a large metal plate that has surface charge density -2.0* 10-6 C/m2. If the initial kinetic energy of the electron is 1.60 *10-17 J and if the electron is to stop (due to electrostatic repulsion from the plate) just as it reaches the plate, how far from the plate must the launch point be?
a) What is the speed of the proton before it hits the surface of the sphere?
b) What is the sheets surface charge density?
