1. Find the field due to a finite line charge of length L and line charge density .

2. If a spherical dielectric shell as shown in figure 1 has a charge +Q placed at the center of the shell,
then find and plot the electric field intensity, the electric displacement and the electric potential
across all the regions (a) inside the inner shell, (b) in between the two shells and (c) outside the outer
shell.

3. If a charge if placed at a distance of from the origin, then derive the expression of the electric field
due to the charge. Hence, prove Coulomb’s Law for this system.

4. Formulate the expression for divergence in the cylindrical coordinates.

5. Given a scalar ;
(A) Find as a gradient of W.
(B) Find as a rotation of along z-axis
(C) Find the divergence of .

6. A spherical shell described by is located in the field of a charge Q. Find the flux crossing
the shell.
