A grounded conductor is in the shape of an infinite plane except for a hemispherical bulge of radius a. A charge q is placed above the center of the bulge, a distance z from the plane. What is the force on the charge? ———-@ 4 2, In the good old days it was assumed that the electron was a uniformly-charged sphere ‘and that its rest energy was electrostatic in origin. Given that the rest energy is me”, what does this imply for the radius of the electron’? 3. A ring of radius a has charge q uniformly spread on it. The ring is surrounded by a ‘concentric sphere of radius b, held at zero potential.

A plane is held at a potential = V while another plane, inclined at an angle B is held at @ = 0 (as shown below). What is the potential between the planes, but near where they join? Ignore the edges. If you're having trouble, see if you can construct a plausible solution by creative guessing. In other words, how should the angular dependence look if you want to satisfy the boundary conditions? What about the radial dependence? 2. Three point charges (q, -2q, q) are located on the z-axis and surrounded by a grounded, conducting spherical shell, as shown below. a) Write down the potential for the 3 charges in the absence of the grounded sphere. Find the limiting form as a —» 0, but the product qa ? = Q remains finite. b) Now add the grounded sphere and find the potential everywhere inside the sphere. Again, find the limit as a — 0. e 3. A sphere of radius a has a surface charge distribution that is proportional to cos(20). What is the potential inside of the sphere? 4. An insulated, uncharged, spherical, conducting shell of (you guessed it) radius a is in a uniform electric field E,. If the sphere is cut into 2 hemispheres in a plane perpendicular to the field, what is the force required to prevent the 2 hemispheres from separating?
