Find a point on the line joining the two charges where the electric field is zero. 4.2. A thin non-conducting plastic rod is bent into the form of a nearly complete circle of 0.5 m radius. There is 0.02 m gap between the ends. A positive charge of 3 x 10 'C is spread uniformly over the length of the rod. Find the magnitude and direction ofthe electric field atthe centre of the circle. 4.3. Two infinite non-conducting sheets of positive surface charge density +6 for each, face each other. Find & at points (a) tthe left of the sheets, (b) between them, and (c) to the right ofthe sheets. 44 ‘Two infinite non-conducting parallel planes carry equal but opposite uniform charge densities 0. Find & at points (a) to the left ofthe planes, (b) between them, and (c) tothe right ofthe planes. 45 Two lange (infinite) metal plates (conducting sheets) face each other and camry charges with surface charge density +6 and 9, respectively, on ther inner surfaces. Find £ at points (a) between them, (b) tothe left of the plates, and (€) to the right of the plats. 4.6. Two large metal plates of area 1.0 m?, carrying equal and opposite charges on their inner surface separated by 0.05 m face each other. I the electric field between the plates is 55 NVC (of course neglecting the edge effets), find magnitude ofthe charge on each plate. {A thin non-conducting rod extends along the x-atis fram x =—a to x= +a.
