SOLUTIONS TO SELECTED END-OF-CH-24 PROBLEMS

1. A long, straight metal rod has a radius of 5.00 cm and a charge per unit length of 30.0 nC/m.
Find the electric field (a) 3.00 cm, (b) 10.0 cm, and
(c) 100 cm from the axis of the rod, where distances are measured perpendicular to the rod.

Solution:

2- The charge per unit length on a long, straight filament is –90.0 μC/m. Find the electric field
(a) 10.0 cm, (b) 20.0 cm, and
(c) 100 cm from the filament, where distances are measured perpendicular to the length of the filament.

Solution:

3- An insulating sphere is 8.00 cm in diameter and carries a 5.70-μC charge uniformly distributed
throughout its interior volume.
Calculate the charge enclosed by a concentric spherical surface with radius
(a) r = 2.00 cm and (b) r = 6.00 cm.

Solution:
4- A uniformly charged, straight filament 7.00 m in length has a total positive charge of 2.00 μC.
An uncharged cardboard cylinder 2.00 cm in length and 10.0 cm in radius surrounds the filament at
its center, with the filament as the axis of the cylinder. Using reasonable approximations,
find
(a) the electric field at the surface of the cylinder and
(b) the total electric flux through the cylinder.

Solution:

5- A square plate of copper with 50.0-cm sides has no net charge and is placed in a region of
uniform electric field of 80.0 kN/C directed perpendicularly to the plate.
Find (a) the charge density of each face of the plate and
(b) the total charge on each face.

Solution:

6- A solid conducting sphere of radius 2.00 cm has a charge of 8.00 μC.


A conducting spherical shell of inner radius 4.00 cm and outer radius 5.00 cm is concentric with
the solid sphere and has a total charge of –4.00 μC.
Find the electric field at (a) r = 1.00 cm, (b) r = 3.00 cm, (c) r = 4.50 cm, and
(d) r = 7.00 cm from the center of this charge configuration.
