Consider a Gaussian surface in form of a cube. A charge Q is placed exactly in the center of this cube. What is the flux through each of faces of cube?
Q/(6ε0)
Consider three spheres all caring charge Q uniformly distributed over the volume. Sphere #1 is of radius R/2; Sphere #2 is of radius R; sphere #3 is of radius 2R. Rank electric field created by these spheres at distance R/2 from the center, greatest first:
1, 2, 3
Consider three spheres all caring charge of the same uniform charge density ρ. Sphere #1 is of radius R/2; Sphere #2 is of radius R; sphere #3 is of radius 2R. Rank electric field created by these spheres at distance R/2 from the center, greatest first:
Electric field is the same for all
Is it possible for a conductor to have charge uniformly distributed over the volume?
No according to Gauss’s law
A point charge +5 C is positioned in the center of a hollow metallic shell of radius R. Shell itself carries charge -2C. Charge on the inner surface of the shell is:
-5 C
