Assignment
A semi-infinite line extending from - to 0 along the z axis carries a
uniform charge distribution of 100nC/m. Find the electric field intensity at
point P(0,0,2). If a charge of 1C is placed at P, calculate the force acting
on it.

Question
A spherical capacitor is formed by two concentric metallic spheres of radii
a and b. The charge of the inner sphere is +Q and that on the outer
sphere is Q. Determine the capacitance of the system. What is the
capacitance of an isolated sphere? Assuming the earth to be an isolated
sphere of radius 6.5X 106 meters, calculate its capacitance. Deduce an
approximate expression for the capacitance when the separation between
the spheres is very small as compared to their radii.
