(b) The component (in spherical coordinates) of at P
and
(c) A unit vector (in cylindrical coordinates) perpendicular to both at P.

2. If the components of a vector in space are defined as

(a) Express , and in terms of and
(b) Show that cos2 + cos2 + cos2 = 1.

3. A finite length rod of charge density C/m and length meters is placed along Z-axis
symmetrically to the origin. Determine the electric field intensity at any point along Y-
axis.

4. A circular ring of radius a carries a uniform charge C/m and is placed on the xy-
plane with axis the same as the z-axis.

(a) Show that =
[ + ]

(b) What values of h gives the maximum value of

(c) If the total charge on the ring is Q, find

5. Two infinitely long coaxial cylinders of radii a and b (b > a) carry surface charges +
and respectively. Find the field in the region inside the inner cylinder, between the
cylinders, and outside the cylinders.

6. Planes x = 2 and y = - 3, respectively, carry charges 10 nC/m2 and 15 nC/m2. If the line
x = 0, z = 2 carries charge l0nC/m, calculate at (1, 1, -1) due to the three charge
distributions.

7. Let = 0 nC/m3, 0 < r < a, where 0 is a constant.
