Match each situation that can be solved analytically using Gauss's Law to the correct gaussian surface shape choice. Some situations cannot be solved analytically. Leave those ones out. (Do not put them in a category.)
Could use a gaussian surface that is a cylinder with reflection symmetry in the yz plane and its axis along the \( x \)-direction.
Could use a gaussian surface that is a cylinder with its axis along the z-direction.
Could use a spherical gaussian surface.
Possible answers
A conducting sphere with excess charge, -2 nC .
Infinite line of charge, uniformly distributed along the z-axis.
A shell of charge concentric on a conducting sphere.
An insulating sphere with non-uniform charge distributed as \(\mathrm{Ar}^{\wedge}2\), where \( A \) is a constant and \( r \) is the distance from the center of the sphere.
A uniformly distributed slab of charge, of small thickness d and very, very large area A , lying in the yz-plane.
A long, straight coaxial cable lying on the z-axis, with some excess charge on each conductor.
Infinite sheet of charge, uniformly distributed in the yz-plane.
A cylinder of charge, radius R , with central axis along the z-direction, and uniform charge distribution.
A uniformly-distributed cube of charge, with side length d.
A uniformly-distributed tetrahedron of charge, centered on the origin.
Very large conducting sheet with some excess charge Q , and thickness d , with its area vector along the x -direction.
