Electrons charge = -1.6 X 10-19 C Electrons mass = 9.11 X 10-31 kg 0= 8.85 X 10-12 C/N.m2. k= 9 X 109 N. m2/C o=4 X 10-7 T.m/A

1. A positive point charge of magnitude 2.5 C is at the center of an uncharged conducting spherical shell of inner radius a= 60 cm and outer radius b=90 cm. a- find the charge densities on the inner and outer surfaces of the shell and the total charges on the surfaces? b- Find the electric field everywhere ( r<a, a<r<b and r>b). c- Repeat (a), and (b) if a net charge of -2.5 C is placed on the shell. Solution: a. qin = -q0 = - 2.5 C in = - 2.5 C / 4 (0.6)2 qnet = 0 = qin + qout qout = + 2.5 C out = + 2.5 C / 4 (0.9)2 b. E = k 2.5 C / r2 E=0 for r<a for a < r < b

E = k 2.5 C / r2 for r> b c. qin = -q0 = - 2.5 C in = - 2.5 C / 4 (0.6)2 qnet = - 2.5 C = qin + qout qout = 0 out = = 0 E = k 2.5 C / r2 E=0 E=0 for r<a for a < r < b for r> b

2. A proton (mass = 1.67 10-27 kg, q = 1.6 10-19 C) moves at 4.5 105 m/s in the horizontal direction. It enters a uniform vertical electric field with a magnitude of 9.6 103 N/C. Ignoring any gravitational effects, find (a) the time required for the proton to travel 5 cm horizontally, (b) the vertical displacement during that time, (c) the horizontal and vertical components of the velocity after the proton has traveled 5 cm horizontally.

Solution: (a) Since E is vertical, the electric force is vertical, and the resulting acceleration has only a ycomponent (ax = 0) x 0.05m t= = = 1.1110-7 s = 111 ns vx 4.50 105 m / s

3. A hollow non-conducting spherical shell of inner radius R1 and outer radius R2 carries a total charge of Q distributed uniformly throughout its volume. Determine the electric flux through a spherical surface of radius r (R1 < r < R2 ) concentric with the shell.

R2

Solution:
According to G. L. E= qenc / o Then we have to calculate qenc within the surface of radius r (R1 < r < R2 ).

r
R1

As the charge is uniformly distributed, then qenc = V`, where V` is the volume of the shell within G.S. that has a charge; Q qenc = V` = ( 4 / 3 (r 3 R1 3 ) 3 3 4 / 3 ( R2 R1 )

Therefore Q
