Q1) A uniform line charge of density    

2  108 / 6 C / m lies along X-axis and a uniform sheet
of charge is located at y  5m . Along the line y  3m, z  3m the electric field intensity E has only
a z component. What is the surface charge density  of the sheet?

Q2) A uniform line of charge density   3.30 nC / m is located at x  3m, y  4m. A point charge Q
is 2m from the origin. Find the charge Q and its location such that the electric field intensity is zero
at the origin.

Q3) A circular ring of charge with radius 2m lies in the z  0 plane, with center at the origin. If the
uniform charge density is   10 nC / m , find the point charge Q at the origin which would produce
the same electric field at  0,0,5 m .

Q5) A uniform line charge extends from 2.5cm to 2.5cm and has a linear charge density of
  6.0 nC / m. (a) Calculate the total charge. Find the electric field on the y-axis at (b)𝑧 = 4𝑐𝑚

point charge and calculate the corresponding error in this result in comparison to the exact
result of (d).
