Assignment Problems:

1. Given the vector current density J = 10ρ2zaρ − 4ρ cos2 φ aφ mA/m2: (a) find the current density
at P(ρ = 3, φ = 30◦, z = 2) and determine the total current flowing outward through the circular band
ρ = 3, 0 <φ< 2π, 2 < z < 2.8.

2. Current density is given in cylindrical coordinates as J = −106z1.5az A/m2 in the region 0 ≤ ρ ≤

20µm; for ρ ≥ 20µm, J = 0. (a) Find the total current crossing the surface z = 0.1 m in the az
direction. (b) If the charge velocity is 2 × 106 m/s at z = 0.1 m, find ρν there. (c) If the volume
charge density at z = 0.15 m is −2000 C/m3, find the charge velocity there.

3. Given the potential field in free space, V = 100 sinh 5x sin 5y V, and a point P(0.1, 0.2, 0.3), find
at P: (a) V; (b) E; (c) |E|; (d) |ρS| if it is known that P lies on a conductor surface.

4. A perfectly conducting plane is located in free space at x = 4, and a uniform infinite line charge
of 40 nC/m lies along the line x = 6, y = 3. Let V = 0 at the conducting plane. At P(7, −1, 5) find:
(a) V; (b) E.

5. Let Region 1 (z < 0) be composed of a uniform dielectric material for which 𝜀 r = 3.2, while
Region 2 (z > 0) is characterized by 𝜀 r = 2. Let D1 = −30ax + 50ay + 70az nC/m2 and find: (a)
Dn1; (b) Dt1; (c) θ1; ( d ) P1; (e) Dn2; (e) Dt2; (f) P2; (g) θ2.

6. Consider a point charge above a grounded conducting plane as shown in Fig. 1 below. Find
Electric field intensity at point P(x, y, z). Also, determine surface charge density of induced
charge (at z=0) and total induced charge on the conducting plane.

 7. A point charge Q is located at point (a, 0, b) between two semi-infinite conducting planes
intersecting at right angles as in the Figure. Determine the potential at point P(x, y, z) and the
force on Q.

Practice Problems:

1. A line charge within a conducting cylinder from book “Introduction to Electromagnetic Fields”, 3/e by
Clayton Paul, Syed A. Nasar (2007) – Available in Library, page 170-171

2. Problems with Infinite Images – Pg. 171-172 [Paul et. al] – Example: A point charge located in between two
grounded conducting plates.

3. A point charge outside a grounded conducting sphere – Pg. 124 [Griffiths] – Example 3.2

• Note that for the non-Cartesian geometries, the image charge might not be the equidistant from the
conducting surface
