    Does the electric field reach a value equal to half its maximum value?

    A non-conducting sphere of radius R = 7 cm carries a charge Q = 4 mC distributed uniformly throughout its volume. At what distance, measured from the center of the sphere does the electric field reach a value equal to half its maximum value? My attempt: Emax= q(4mC)/7 r= 7/2 cm = 3.5...

    What is the magnitude if the total force exerted by the four charges

    explanation this is what i was thinking F because of one charge=kqQ/(b^2+l^2/2) * cos(theta) =kqQ/(b^2+l^2/2) *b/sqrt(b^2+l^2/2) =kqQb/(b^2+l^2/2)^(3/2) (along the perpendicular )...

    What is the energy density of the electric field ?

    Two large non-conducting plates of surface area A = 0.25 m^2 carry equal but opposite charges Q = 75 uC. What is the energy density of the electric field between the two plates? My attempt: E=(charge density)/epsilon And U=1/2*epsilon*E^2 So U=0.5(charge density)^2/epsilon...

    What is the magnitude if the total force exerted by the four charges

    Four charges of magnitude +q are placed at the corners of a square whose sides have a length d. What is the magnitude if the total force exerted by the four charges on a charge Q located a distance b along a line perpendicular to the plane of the square and equidistant from the four charges...

    Gauss’s law can be used to show that the electric field at a given di

    Outside a spherically symmetric charge distribution of net charge Q, Gauss’s law can be used to show that the electric field at a given distance a) must be greater than zero b) must be zero c) acts like it originated in a point charge Q at the center of distribution d) must be directed...
