PHYS 222 Leader: Rosalie Leader: Dubberke Rosalie Class: PHYS 222 Course: PHYS 222 and Date: 9/7/2016 Worksheet 4 - Gauss’s Law Conductors Instructor: Dr. Paula Herrera-Siklódy Supplemental Instruction Iowa State University Date: 1/24/12 Useful Equations E q enclosed / 0 The uniform electric field flux relative to the charge Related Problems 1) A sphere of radius a = 2.0 cm with a uniformly distributed charge Q1 = 4.0 μC is at the center of a conducting spherical shell of radii b = 4.0 cm and c = 6.0 cm that has a total charge Q2 = −8.0 μC. (a) Find the electric field at point A, which is at r = 1.0 cm from the center of the system. (b) Find the electric field at point B, which is at r = 4.0 cm from the center of the system (c) Find the electric field at point D, which is at r = 8.0 cm from the center of the system 2) Negative charge, –Q, is distributed uniformly over the surface of a thin spherical shell with radius R. (a) Calculate the magnitude of the force the shell exerts on a positive charge q located a distance r > R from the center of the shell (outside the shell). (b) Calculate the magnitude of the force that the shell exerts on a positive point charge q located at a distance r < R from the center of the shell (inside the shell). Express your answers in terms of the variables q, Q, r, R, and constants π and Є 0. 3) A conducting spherical shell with inner radius a and outer radius b has a positive point charge Q located at its center. The total charge on the shell is -3Q, and it is insulated from its surroundings. (a) Derive the expression for the electric field magnitude in terms of the distance r from the center for the region r < a.

(4) A small conducting spherical shell with inner radius a and outer radius b is concentric with a larger conducting spherical shell with inner radius c and outer radius d (see the Figure ). The inner shell has total charge +2q, and the outer shell has charge +4q.
