1) Find D (in Cartesian co-ordinates) at p (6, 8, -10) caused by
(a) a point charge of 30.mc at origin
(b) a uniform line charge = 40 nc/m on z.-axis

2) Given D = 5x2ax + 10z az (c/m2) find the net outward flux (ψ) the surface of a cube 2m on an
edge centered at origin. The edges of the cube are parallel to coordinate axis.

at a time. Find the energy in the system after each charge is positioned.
