SOLUTIONS TO SELECTED END-OF-CH-24 PROBLEMS

1. Four closed surfaces, S1 through S4, together with the charges –2Q, Q, and –Q are sketched in
Figure (The colored lines are the intersections of the surfaces with the page.) Find the electric
flux through each surface.

Solution:

2. A uniform electric field aî + bĵ intersects a surface of area A. What is the flux through this area if the
surface lies (a) in the yz plane? (b) in the xz plane? (c) in the xy plane?
Solution:
3. A point charge Q is located just above the center of the flat face of a hemisphere of radius R as
shown in Figure. What is the electric flux (a) through the curved surface and (b) through the flat
face?

Solution:

4. Determine the total electric flux through the surface of a sphere of radius R centered at O resulting from
this line charge. Consider both cases, where R < d and R > d.
Solution:

5. A solid sphere of radius 40.0 cm has a total positive charge of 26.0 μC uniformly distributed
throughout its volume. Calculate the magnitude of the electric field (a) 0 cm, (b) 10.0 cm, (c) 40.0
cm, and (d) 60.0 cm from the center of the sphere.
Solution:

6. A cylindrical shell of radius 7.00 cm and length 240 cm has its charge uniformly distributed on
its curved surface. The magnitude of the electric field at a point 19.0 cm radially outward from
its axis (measured from the midpoint of the shell) is 36.0 kN/C. Find (a) the net charge on the
shell and (b) the electric field at a point 4.00 cm from the axis, measured radially outward from
the midpoint of the shell.
Solution:

7. A nonconducting wall carries a uniform charge density of 8.60 μC/cm2. What is the electric field
7.00 cm in front of the wall? Does your result change as the distance from the wall is varied?

Solution:

8. A solid plastic sphere of radius 10.0 cm has charge with uniform density throughout its volume.
The electric field 5.00 cm from the center is 86.0 kN/C radially inward.
Find the magnitude of the electric field 15.0 cm from the center.
Solution:
