of an equilateral triangle. Calculate the net electric field at

point P located midway between the two charges on the x-
axis. Q1=3.00 nC

• Group 3 – Two charges are placed on the x-axis. One charge (Q1 =
+8.5 μC) is at x1=+3.0 cm, and the other (Q2 = -21 μC) is at
x2=+9.0 cm. Find the net electric field at x=+6.0 cm.

• Group 4 & 5 – A solid sphere of radius R = 40 cm has a total

positive charge of 26 μC uniformly distributed throughout its
volume. Calculate the magnitude of the electric field at the
following distances from the center of the sphere.
a) 0 cm
b) 30 cm
c) 60 cm

paper by 30°?
c.What would the flux be if you hold the sheet of
paper vertically?
