Problems:

3.1 An empty metal paint can is placed on a marble table,

the lid is removed, and both parts are discharged
(honorably) by touching them to ground. An insulating
nylon thread is glued to the center of the lid, and a penny,
a nickel, and a dime are glued to the thread so that they
are not touching each other. The penny is given a charge
of +5 nC, and the nickel and dime are discharged. The
assembly is lowered into the can so that the coins hang
clear of all walls, and the lid is secured. The outside of the
can is again touched momentarily to ground. The device is
carefully disassembled with insulating gloves and tools. (a)
What charges are found in each of the five metallic pieces?
(b) If the penny had been given a charge of +5nC, the
dime a charge of -2nC, and the nickel a charge of -1nC,
what would the final charge arrangement have been?

3.3 The cylindrical surface = 8cm contains the surface

charge density, s = 5e20|z| nC/m2. a) What is the total

amount of charge present? b) How much ux leaves the

surface = 8cm, 1cm<z<5cm, 30 <<90?

s0 such that D = 0 at r = 7 m.

3.15 Volume charge density is located as follows: v = 0

for <1 mm and for >2 mm, v = 4C/m3 for 1 <<2

3.19 A spherical surface of radius 3 mm is centered at

P(4,1,5) in free space. Let D = x ax C/m2. Use the results
