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 zdirection.
Could use a spherical gaussian surface.
Possible answers
A conducting sphere with excess charge, nC
Infinite line of charge, uniformly distributed along the zaxis.
A shell of charge concentric on a conducting sphere.
An insulating sphere with nonuniform charge distributed as mathrmArwedge 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 yzplane.
A long, straight coaxial cable lying on the zaxis, with some excess charge on each conductor.
Infinite sheet of charge, uniformly distributed in the yzplane.
A cylinder of charge, radius R with central axis along the zdirection, and uniform charge distribution.
A uniformlydistributed cube of charge, with side length d
