Instructions: Answer the following problems. Show all the important steps.
1. A neutral metal sphere (A) has mass and hangs from an insulating wire of length . An
identical sphere (B) with charge is brought into contact with sphere A. The spheres then
repel each other so that the angle of the wire is as shown.
3. Consider an infinite cylinder with a non-uniform volume charge density (r) = +0r and radius b.
A cylindrical Gaussian surface with radius a and length L is coaxial to the charged cylinder, as
shown below.
a. How much charge does this Gaussian surface enclose? (Hint: use dq = (r)dV, where
dV = (2pr dr)L for this cylinder) [4 pts.]
b. What is the electric flux through this Gaussian surface? [2 pts.]
c. What is the magnitude of the electric field at this Gaussian surface? [4 pts.]
4. Consider an insulating disk with a uniform surface charge density +s and radius R. An
infinitesimal ring with radius r and area dA = 2pr dr is concentric to the charged disk, as shown.
6. A power supply with internal resistance r is connected to a rechargeable battery with emf , as
shown in the given circuit.
