Electric field
 By definition, it points in the direction of
motion of a positive point charge
Dielectrics
 Molecules are polarized by an external
electric field
Conductors
 In equilibrium, E = 0 within conductor
Problem 21.54
An infinitely long rod of radius R carries a
uniform volume charge density r.
Show that the electric field is
E = r R2/(2e0 r)
E = r r/(2e0)

Gauss’s law  E  dA  Q / e 0 is always true.
However, because this problem has cylindrical
symmetry, the law can be used to find the
electric field within and outside the
rod by using concentric
Gaussian
surfaces

Problem 22.39
Electrons in a TV tube are accelerated from rest
across a potential difference of 25 kV.
Compute the speed with which the electrons hit
the TV screen.
me = 9.1 x 10-31 kg
|e| = 1.6 x 10-19 C

Problem 22.70
A conducting sphere of radius R1 carries a
charge Q1. It is surrounded by concentric
spherical shell of radius R2 carrying charge
Q2.
Compute the potential at the sphere’s surface,
choosing the potential at infinity to be zero.

… 22.70
There are two ways to approach this problem:
1. Compute the potential for the sphere and
the shell separately and add the potentials.
Remember: the potential is always with
respect to some reference value (e.g., zero
at infinity).
2. Compute the potential at the sphere’s
surface directly from

Problem 23.64
A sphere radius R carries a charge Q spread
uniformly over its surface.
Show that the energy stored in its electric field
is
U = k Q2/2R

… 23.64
This can be done in different ways: e.g., given
the energy density u = e0 E2/2, write
dU = udv, where dv = 4pr2dr is a thin shell of
radius r and thickness dr. Then sum dU.
