A charge of 4.59 C is located at the origin,

and a charge of 2.05 C is located along the
y axis at 2.46484 m.
At what point along the y-axis is the electric
field zero? The value of the Coulomb constant
is 8.99 109 N m2 /C2 .
Correct answer: 1.47746 m.
Explanation:
Let : q1 = 4.59 C ,
q2 = 2.05 C , and
d = 2.46484 m .
Call the point where the fields cancel y. Since
the charges are of equal sign, the only place y
can be is somewhere between them.
The field from the particle q1 at the origin
is

Correct answer: 40.4625 N/C.
Explanation:
Let :
q1 = 4 nC = 4 109 C ,
q2 = 3.2 nC = 3.2 109 C ,
q3 = 3.5 nC = 3.5 109 C ,

A rod 5.7 cm long is uniformly charged and
has a total charge of 23 C.
Find the magnitude of the electric field
along the axis of the rod at a point 33.0132 cm
from the center of the rod. The Coulomb constant is 8.98755 109 N m2 /C2 .
Correct answer: 1.91092 106 N/C.
Explanation:
Let : = 5.7 cm = 0.057 m ,
Q = 23 C = 2.3 105 C ,
r = 33.0132 cm = 0.330132 m ,
and

The direction must be toward the rod, since
the charge distribution is negative (a positive

Two point charges, 3 pC and 3 pC, are
separated by 2 m.
What is the dipole moment of this pair of
charges?
Correct answer: 6 1018 C m.
Explanation:
q1 = 3 pC = 3 1012 C ,
q2 = 3 pC = 3 1012 C ,
L = 2 m = 2 106 m .
Let :

The electric dipole consists of two equal and
opposite charges separated by a distance. In
either situation (c) or (d), the electric field
is uniform everywhere between the infinite
parallel plates. Thus, the electric force on
one charge is equal but opposite to that on
another so that the net force on the whole
dipole is zero. By contrast, electric fields are
nonuniform for both (a) and (b).

What is the total electric flux through the

closed Gaussian surface shown?
1. The electric field outside the box is zero

everywhere.
2. The electric field inside the box is zero.
3. The electric field outside the box is the
same as if only the point charge (and not the
box) were there.
4. The electric field inside the box is the
same strength everywhere.
5. The net charge on the outside surface of
the box is Q. correct

Explanation:
Consider a Gaussian surface between the
outside and inside surface of the box and apply Gausss law. The electric field on such
surface is zero, because the box is a conductor
and there is no current, so the charge on the
inside surface of the box is Q. Since the box
is neutral, the charge on the outside surface
of the box is Q.

Explanation:
Because the charge distribution is spherically symmetric, select a spherical Gaussian
surface of radius r and surface area 4 r 2 concentric with the sphere. The electric field due
to the conducting sphere is directed radially
outward by symmetry and is therefore normal

to the surface at every point and E

There is no charge within the Gaussian surface, so E = 0
