We have an infinitely long wire, again with linear charge density λ = 10 μC/m. We have a point charge, again with q = 75 μC. Point S is zS = 10 m away from the wire on the z-axis, point P is zP = 5 m away from the wire on the z-axis, and point T is yT = 5 m away from the wire on the y-axis. Remember that the electric field at a distance r away from a wire is E→wire = 2 kλrr^ Figure 2: Figure for Problems 3-5 3.

An infinite line of charge with charge per unit length λ1 = +8.00 μC/m is on the x-axis. A second very long line of charge with charge per unit length λ2 = −4.00 μC/m is parallel to the x-axis, at y = 15.0 cm. Part A At what point on the y-axis is the resultant electric field of the two lines of charge equal to zero? Enter the y coordinate of the point and include the appropriate units.

A long straight wire has fixed negative charge with a linear charge density of magnitude 5.1 nC/m. The wire is to be enclosed by a coaxial, thin-walled, nonconducting cylindrical shell of radius 1.2 cm. The shell is to have positive charge on its outside surface with a surface charge density σ that makes the net external electric field is zero. Calculate σ. Number Units
