A spherical ball with a charge of -6 µC is placed at the center of a hollow sphere. The hollow sphere has a charge of +12 µC. Illustrate the direction of electric field vectors inside and outside the hollow sphere.
Two charges, q₁ and q₂, are located at positions x = -0.2 m and x = +0.2 m, respectively. The charges have magnitudes of -8 μC and +2 μC, respectively. Determine the total electric flux through a cube of side 0.5 m centered at i) the origin ii) x = 0.3 m.
A point charge of -10 nC is located within a spherical metal shell that carries a total charge of 30 nC. What is the net charge on the i) internal (qint) and ii) external (qext) surfaces of the shell?
A small ball with a net uniform positive charge of 50 nC and a radius of r = 0.2 cm is surrounded by a concentric thin spherical shell with a uniform negative charge of -50 nC and a radius of R = 1 cm. Find the net electric field (E) produced by the shell at the ball surface.
A spherical asteroid produces a net electric flux of 5.26 × 1014 N•m2/C at its surface. Find the net charge (qnet) of the asteroid.
A student measures the strength of the electric field created by a small positively charged object at a distance of R = 0.2 m from it and comes up with a value of 2 × 106 N/C. Find i) the electric flux (ΦE) through a Gaussian sphere of radius R centered at the location of the object and ii) the charge (q) of the object.
Consider a scenario where four-point charges are positioned as illustrated in the figure. Sketch 2D cross-sectional views of closed surfaces intersecting these charges and yield an electric flux value of -3q/ε0.
