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.

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:
