A pair of infinite parallel planes are separated by a distance d, with one above the other. The top plane has a uniform charge density σ. The bottom plane has a uniform charge density −σ. a. Determine the electric field everywhere. [Note that there is no slab between the planes for part a.] b. An infinite conducting slab is placed between the two planes with top and bottom faces parallel to the two planes and without touching the two planes. Determine the induced charge densities on the top and bottom of the conducting slab.

Question 2 Apply what you know about conservation laws to the following questions. (a) Two protons are held fixed on the y-axis at y = a and y = −a. You release an electron (mass me) on the x-axis at x = 2 a. What is the maximum speed the electron will reach? (b) An electron (mass me) and proton (mass mp) are held a distance r apart. They are released simultaneously and begin to accelerate towards each other. What is the electron's speed by the time the distance between the charges has halved? Answers: (a) vmax = [e2 ameπϵ0(1−15)]1 /2 (b) ve = [14πϵ02 e2 mpme(me+mp)r]1 /2 Question 3 (a) Show that the electric field inside a solid charged sphere with a uniform charge density of ρ is E→(r→) = ρr→/(3ϵ0). Here r→ is a position vector relative to the centre of the sphere. Use known results for spherically symmetric charge distributions. (b) Suppose a spherical cavity is hollowed out of the sphere. The centre of the cavity is at position a→ relative to the centre of the sphere. Derive an expression for the electric field inside the cavity. You should find that it is perfectly uniform. Hint: Use your result in (a) together with the superposition principle.
