A thin-walled metal spherical shell of radius a has a charge qa. Concentric with it is a thin-walled metal spherical shell of radius b >a and charge qb. Find the electric field at points a distance r from the common center, where (a) r< a, (b) a,< r,< b, and (c) r >b. (d) Discuss the criterion you would use to determine how the charges are distributed on the inner and outer surfaces of the shells.
Figure (a) shows a nonconducting rod with a
uniformly distributed charge +Q. The rod forms a
10/25 of circle with radius R and produces an electric
field of magnitude Earc at its center of curvature P. If
the arc is collapsed to a point at distance R from P
(see Figure (b)), by what factor is the magnitude of
the electric field at P multiplied?
