Chapter 25, Problem 30PQ
Two very long, thin, charged rods lie in the same plane (Fig. P25.30). One rod is positively charged with charge per unit length +λ, and the other is negatively charged with charge per unit length −λ. The perpendicular distance between the rods is R. Using the coordinate system shown in the figure, sketch the electric field as a function of r from −R to +2R.

You are helping to design a new electron microscope to investigate the structure of the HIV virus. A new device to position the electron beam consists of a charged circle of conductor. This circle is divided into two half circles separated by a thin insulator so that half of the circle can be charged positively and half can be charged negatively. The electron beam will go through the center of the circle. To complete the design your job is to calculate the electric field in the center of the circle as a function of the amount of positive charge on the half circle, the amount of negative charge on the half circle, and the radius of the circle.

apart. The top and bottom of each slab has surface area A. The thickness of each slab is
so small in comparison to its lateral dimensions that the surface area around the sides is
negligible. Metal 1 has total charge Q1 =
