Assignment # 02

Q.7: Find the electric field inside and outside a spherical shell of radius R , which
carries a uniform surface charge density σ .
(i) by first principles & (ii) by applying Gauss’s law.

Q.8: Find the electric field a distance s form an infinitely long straight wire, which carries
a uniform line charge λ .

Q.9: A long cylinder (see the figure) carries a charge density

that is proportional to the distance from the axis:
ρ=ks , for some constant k. Find the electric field
inside this cylinder.

Q.10: An infinite plane carries a uniform surface charge σ . Find its electric field.
