HW 2 Chapter 3

1. A spherical distribution of charge exists in the region .

The charge distribution is concentrically surrounded by a counducting shell with inner
radius and outer Radius Determine everywhere.

2. Two infinetely long axial cyclindrical surfaces and (b>a), carry surface
charge densities and , respectively. Determine everywhere.

3. Assume that the plane separates two lossless dielectric regions with and
If we know that in redion 1 is , what do we also
know about and in region 2?

4. A cyclindrical capacitor consisits of an inner conductor of radius and a outer conductor

whose inner radius is . The space between the conductors is filled with a dielectric of
permittivity , and the length of the capacitor is . Determine the capacitance of this
capacitor.

5. Find the energy required to assemble a uniform sphere of charge of radius and volume
charge density
