1. Consider the situation diagramed below. You have a negative point charge (5C) located at the origin and a positive point charge (5C) located at x = 0.1m. A) Find the electric field at x = - 0.1m. B) if a small conductor were inserted between the two charges, what would be the field inside the conductor? Explain. C) with the conductor in place, what would be the field at the 5 C charge due to the -5uC charge? D) Considering the total field at the location of the 5C charge, would the field be larger or smaller than without the conductor at 0.05 m. Bonus_1) if the conductor is 1 mm long, what charge on either side of the conductor? Bonus_2) What is the force on the 5C charge? -5C, x=0 5C, x=0.1m 2. Consider four charges each separated by a distance a so that they are on the corners of a square. Shown on the diagram are three electric fields. What are the types of charges at each corner to result in those fields? 3. A hollow spherical conductor has a point charge of +2C in the center of the hollow. The radius is 1 cm. A second point charge of +5C is placed 10 cm from the center of the conductor. A) What force will the charge in the hollow experience? Explain. B) Is the charge distribution on the outside of the hollow sphere uniform? Explain. C) What force will the +5C charge experience? Explain. 1. Consider the situation diagramed below.
