density of 30 nC/m on the line x = 1, y = 2, and a 1-µC point charge at
P(−1,−1,2), find VAB for points A(3,4,0) and B(4,0,1).

2.Three identical point charges of 4 pC each are located at the corners of an

equilateral triangle 0.5 mm on a side in free space. How much work must be
done to move one charge to a point equidistant from the other two and on the
line joining them?

3.Two uniform line charges, 8 nC/m each, are located at x = 1, z = 2, and at x

=−1, y = 2 in free space. If the potential at the origin is 100V, find V at P(4,1,3).

4.Two perfect dielectrics have relative permittivities R1 = 2 and R2 = 8. The

planar interface between them is the surface x − y + 2z = 5. The origin lies in
region 1. If E1 = 100ax + 200ay − 50az V/m, find E2.

thickness of 0.2 mm and a radius of 1.4 cm. The dielectric properties are R =

6.Two coaxial conducting cylinders of radius 2 cm and 4 cm have a length of

1m. The region between the cylinders contains a layer of dielectric from ρ = c to
ρ = d with R = 4. Find the capacitance if a) c = 2 cm, d = 3 cm.
7.Two conducting spherical shells have radii a = 3 cm andb = 6 cm. The interior

8.A two-wire transmission line consists of two parallel perfectly-conducting

cylinders, each having a radius of 0.2 mm, separated by center-to-center
distance of 2 mm. The medium surrounding the wires has
R = 3 and σ = 1.5

magnitude of the charge per meter length on each wire and the battery current.
