The region between two concentric conducting
cylinders with radii of 2 and 5 cm contains a volume
charge distribution of -10 (1 + 10r) C/m³. If E
and V both are zero at the inner cylinder and
E = E, the potential Vat the outer cylinder will be
(a) 0.506 V
(c) 50.6 V
(b) 5.06 V
(d) 506 V

Two conducting concentric spherical shells have radii a = 0.165 m and b = 0.24 m.
Part (a) If the charge in the inner sphere is +Q = 3 µC, the outer sphere -Q = -3 µC, calculate the electric potential difference△V between the outside and the inside conductors in V.
A water molecule is built as an isosceles triangle; the two hydrogen atoms are separated by 1.5x10-10m, and the oxygen is a distance 1x10-10m from either of the hydrogens. Treating the hydrogens as point charges, each of +e, and the oxygen as a point charge of -2e, estimate the total electric potential energy stored in this molecule.
