Flux and conducting shells. A charged particle is held at the center of two concentric conducting spherical shells. Figure 23-35a shows a cross section. Figure 23-35b gives the net flux through a Gaussian sphere centered on the particle, as a function of the radius r of the sphere. The scale of the vertical axis is set by s = 5.0 105N m2/C. What are (a) the charge of the central particle and the net charges of (b) shell A and (c) shell B?

In Fig. 23-44a, an electron is shot directly away from a uniformly charged plastic sheet, at speed vs = 2.0 105 m/s. The sheet is nonconducting, flat, and very large. Figure 23-44b gives the electron's vertical velocity component v versus time t until the return to the launch point. What is the sheet's surface charge density?

52 Figure 23-53 shows a spherical shell with uniform volume charge density = 1.84 nC/m3, inner radius a = 10.0 cm, and outer radius b = 2.00a. What is the magnitude of the electric field at radial distances (a) r = 0; (b) r = a/2.00, (c) r = a, (d) r = 1.50a, (e) r = b, and (f) r = 3.00b?

The smiling face of Fig. 24-44 consists of three items:

1. a thin rod of charge -3.0 C that forms a full circle of radius 6.0 cm; 2. a second thin rod of charge 2.0 C that forms a circular arc of radius 4.0 cm, subtending an angle of 90 about the center of the full circle; 3. an electric dipole with a dipole moment that is perpendicular to a radial line and has magnitude 1.28 10-21 C m.

Figure 25-49 shows a parallel-plate capacitor of plate area A = 10.5 cm2 and plate separation 2d = 7.12 mm. The left half of the gap is filled with material of dielectric constant 1 = 21.0; the top of the right half is filled with material of dielectric constant 2 = 42.0; the bottom of the right half is filled with material of dielectric constant 3 = 58.0. What is the capacitance?

26 In Fig. 26-25a, a 9.00 V battery is connected to a resistive strip that consists of three sections with the same cross-sectional areas but different conductivities. Figure 26-25b gives the electric potential V(x)

versus position x along the strip. The horizontal scale is set by xs = 8.00 mm. Section 3 has conductivity 3.00 107 ( m)1. What is the conductivity of section (a) 1 and (b) 2?

66 Figure 27-67 displays two circuits with a charged capacitor that is to be discharged through a resistor when a switch is closed. In Fig. 27-67a, R1 = 20.0 and C1 = 5.00 F. In Fig. 27-67b, R2 = 10.0 and C2 = 8.00 F. The ratio of the initial charges on the two capacitors is q02/q01 = 1.50. At time t = 0, both switches are closed. At what time t do the two capacitors have the same charge?
