In the following Questions, a Gaussian cylinder with radius a andl is placed in various electric fields. The end caps are labeled A and C and the side surfaces is labeled B. In each case, base your answer about the net flux only on qualitative arguments about the magnitude of the flux through the end caps and side surfaces.
B. The Gaussian cylinder encloses a negative charge. (The field from part A is removed.)

(Note: since the sphere is conducting all the charge is distributed on its surface.) a) By reflecting on the symmetry of the charge distribution of the system, determine what the E-field lines look like outside the sphere for any r > R. Describe the E-field in words and with a simple sketch. Make sure to also show the direction of the E-field lines. b) Consider a point P, shown in the figure below, at a distance rp from the center of the sphere. Your goal for this part is to properly use Gauss' law to calculate the electric field at point P. Choose an appropriate Gaussian surface and clearly draw it on a sketch of the wire. Show your calculation for the electric flux through the Gaussian surface, as well as for the charge enclosed. What at is the electric field at point P?

- You have the same line of charge in the previous problem (with +6.00 nC of charge on it). But now you are measuring the electric field 1.5 m above the center of the rod – see image below.

Calculate the electric field at a point P that is located along the long axis of the rod and a distance a from one end (see figure). The electric field at P due to a uniformly charged rod lying along the x-axis. dx P a SOLUTION Conceptualize The field dE at P due to each segment of charge on the rod is in the --Select-- v because point P is farther from the charge distribution. v x-direction because every segment carries a positive charge. The figure shows the appropriate geometry. In our result, we expect the electric field to become smaller as the distance a becomes larger Categorize Because the rod is continuous, we are evaluating the field due to a continuous charge distribution rather than a group of individual charges. Because every segment of the rod produces an electric field in the -Select--- vy x-direction, the sum of their contributions can be handled without the need to add vectors.…arrow_forward
