In summary, the conversation is about a group struggling with understanding material and a book that does not explain well. Then, there are multiple questions related to calculating electric fields and charges in various scenarios, as well as applying Gauss' Law to a symmetric charge distribution on the surface of a cube.

Weve been working as a group on campus now for a few hours and we're lost on these 3. Our teacher did a horrible job explaining this material and the book doesn't do any better of one.

A long, non-conducting, solid cylinder of radius 4.7 cm has a uniform volume charge density ρ = 2.1 µC/m^3.
a) What is the magnitude of the electric field at a radial distance of 6.5 cm from the axis of the cylinder?
1Your answer is incorrect. N/C
b) What is the magnitude of the electric field at a radial distance of 2.8 cm from the axis of the cylinder?
2Your answer is incorrect. N/C

Particle A proton with speed v = 3.00 multiplied by 105 m/s orbits just outside a charged sphere of radius r = 1.04 cm. What is the charge on the sphere?
1Your answer is incorrect. C

Concentric Spheres Two charged concentric spheres have radii of 9.5 and 14.7 cm. The charge on the inner sphere is 3.98 multiplied by 10-8 C and that on the outer sphere is 2.00 multiplied by 10-8 C.

(a) Find the electric field at r = 11.7 cm.
1Your answer is incorrect. N/C
(b) Find the electric field at r = 20.4 cm.
2Your answer is incorrect. N/C


Section 24.6 Application of Gauss' Law to Symmetric Charge Distributions

Surface of Cube At each point on the surface of the cube shown in Fig. 24-25, the electric field is in the positive direction of z. The length of each edge of the cube is 3.2 m. On the top surface of the cube, Evec = (-34 N/C)k, and on the bottom face of the cube Evec = (+19 N/C)k . Determine the net charge contained within the cube.
1Your answer is incorrect. C

1. What should we do if we have 3 problems due tomorrow and we're lost?

The first step is to take a deep breath and remain calm. Panicking will only make it harder to focus and find a solution. Next, assess your situation and prioritize the problems based on difficulty and deadline. Make a plan to tackle each problem one at a time and set realistic goals for each. Finally, reach out for help if needed, whether it's from a classmate, teacher, or tutor.

2. How can we effectively manage our time when facing multiple problems due tomorrow?

Time management is crucial when facing multiple problems due tomorrow. Create a schedule or to-do list and allocate specific time slots for each problem. Be sure to include breaks in your schedule to rest and recharge. Stick to your schedule and avoid distractions. If you find yourself running out of time, prioritize the most important problems and focus on those first.

3. What can we do to avoid getting lost when working on problems with a tight deadline?

One way to avoid getting lost is to thoroughly read and understand the instructions and requirements for each problem before starting. This will help you stay on track and prevent any wasted time. Additionally, make sure to keep organized notes and resources as you work through each problem. If you do get lost, refer back to your notes and double check the instructions to get back on track.

4. How can we stay motivated and focused when working on difficult problems due tomorrow?

Staying motivated and focused can be challenging when facing difficult problems with a tight deadline. One strategy is to break the problem down into smaller, manageable tasks and celebrate each small accomplishment. This will help you stay motivated and build momentum. You can also try changing up your study environment or taking short breaks to avoid burnout.

5. What should we do if we can't find a solution to a problem due tomorrow?

If you've tried everything and still can't find a solution to a problem due tomorrow, don't panic. Take a break to clear your mind and come back to the problem with a fresh perspective. You can also try reaching out for help from a teacher, classmate, or tutor. Remember to stay positive and keep trying, as sometimes the solution may come to you when you least expect it.
