Assignment # 2

1. Consider a closed triangular box resting within a horizontal electric field of magnitude
E = 7.8 x 104 N/C as shown in Figure 1. Calculate the electric flux through (a) the vertical
surface, (b) the slanted surface, and (c) the entire surface of the box.

Figure 1 Figure 2

2. Four closed surfaces, S1 through S4, together with the charges –2Q, Q, and –Q are
sketched in Figure 2. Find the electric flux through each surface.

3. A solid sphere of radius 40.0 cm has a total positive charge of 26 C, 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.

4. Two infinite, nonconducting sheets of charge are parallel to each other as sketched in
Figure 3. The sheet on the left has a uniform surface charge density sigma and the one
on the right has a uniform charge density - . Calculate the value of the electric field at
points (a) to the left of, (b) in between, and (c) to the right of the two sheets.

5. At what distance from a point charge of 8.0 C does the electric potential equal 3.6 x
104 V?

6. Calculate the energy required to assemble the array of charges shown in Figure 4
where a = 0.20 m, b = 0.40 m, and q = 6.0 C.

7. A charge +q is at the origin. A charge -2q is at x = 2.0 m on the x-axis. For what finite
value(s) of x is (a) the electric field zero? (b) the electric potential zero?
