1. A field is given in spherical coordinates at P(r=5, =30, =60) as E=20ar-30a+60a V/m.

Find the incremental work done in moving a 10C charge a distance of 0.8m in the direction:
(a) ar, (b) a, (c) a, (d) of E.
Solution:
a) W=-QEL
=-10x10-6(20ar-30a+60a)0.8x10-6ar
=-8x10-12(20)
=-160x10-12J or -160pJ
b) W=-QEL
=-10x10-6(20ar-30a+60a)0.8x10-6a
=-8x10-12(30)
=-240x10-12J or -240pJ
c) W=-QEL
=-10x10-6(20ar-30a+60a)0.8x10-6a
=-8x10-12(60)
=-480x10-12J or -480pJ
d) W=-QEL
=-10x10-6 IEIL
But IEI=

=70

=-10x10-6(70)(0.8x10-6)
=-560x10-12J or -560pJ

2. Find the total work done in moving a -10C charge from the origin to (1,2,3) through the field
E=6x2yax+2x3ay+6zaz along a straight line segments (0,0,0) to (1,0,0) to (1,2,0) to (1,2,3)
a.
b.
c.
d.

-310 J
350 J
310 J
320 J

Solution:
From (0,0,0) to (1,0,0)

but y=0, dy=0, dz=0

Therefore, W=0
From (1,0,0) to (1,2,0)

z=0, dz=0

W = 20(1)(2) = 40J
From (1,2,0) to (1,2,3)

W = 30(32-0) = 30(9) = 270J

Thus, WTOTAL = 0+40+270 = 310J
