A conductor with an inner cavity, like that shown in Fig. 22.23c, carries a total charge of +5.00 nC. The charge within the cavity, insulated from the conductor, is −6.00 nC. How much charge is on (a) the inner surface of the conductor and (b) the outer surface of the conductor?

A very large, horizontal, nonconducting sheet of charge has uniform charge per unit area σ = 5.00×10−6 C/m2. (a) A small sphere of mass m = 8.00×10−6 kg and charge q is placed 3.00 cm above the sheet of charge and then released from rest. (b) What is q if the sphere is released 1.50 cm above the sheet?

A very large, horizontal, nonconducting sheet of charge has uniform charge per unit area σ = 5.00×10−6 C/m2. (a) A small sphere of mass m = 8.00×10−6 kg and charge q is placed 3.00 cm above the sheet of charge and then released from rest. (a) If the sphere is to remain motionless when it is released, what must be the value of q?

An infinitely long cylindrical conductor has radius r and uniform surface charge density σ. (b) In terms of σ, what is the magnitude of the electric field produced by the charged cylinder at a distance r > R from its axis? (c) Express the result of part (b) in terms of λ and show that the electric field outside the cylinder is the same as if all the charge were on the axis.

A very long conducting tube (hollow cylinder) has inner radius A and outer radius b. It carries charge per unit length +α, where α is a positive constant with units of C/m. A line of charge lies along the axis of the tube. The line of charge has charge per unit length +α. (a) Calculate the electric field in terms of α and the distance r from the axis of the tube for (i) r < a; (ii) a < r < b; (iii) r > b. Show your results in a graph of E as a function of R.
