Consider a uniformly charged (nonconducting) sphere of radius R and charge density p. A hemisphere with a planar cap cuts the sphere in half, as shown.

If so, caleulate the electric field of the sphere using the capped hemisphere Ii is not possible to calculate the electric field with the hemisphere, draw a Gaussian surface for which you can calculate the field and do so Yes. we can use a Cappel hemisphere as a Gaussian surfie. i Becnuse the sphere is uniformly charged, te electc fielek couse by the Sphere shoddh hove © spherseol symmetiy , For any point in tha spce, E should be in rodiok diredin (is or on, depending on He sign of whe charge demsiog P.)

You have just been hired for a summer job at the Exploratorium, when your supervisor, an anthropologist by training, assigns you a project for an upcoming exhibit, Her idea isto ‘evitate’ a small sphere using electric forces. The sphere, made from an aerogel (a material so light that he force of gravity onit is negligibly small), to be given a positive charge and then placed in an otherwise empty display case at the center of the case where the electric eld is zer0 (50 it doesn't get accelerated by the electric field). A laser beam wil illuminate the levitating sphere. Your task isto design an ‘electro- static trap’ atthe center of the case by arranging charged objects atthe periphery of the display case so that the electric field at points around the center ofthe case all point toward the center to ensure that the particle is always pushed back toward the centerifitis disturbed. You are about to embark enthusiastically on this project when your supervisor tells you that your predecessor, a physics major, refused to take on this project because she claimed it was theoretically impossible to arrange charged objects ina way that would satisfy the requirements.
