A volumetric charge density exists between two spherical shells defined by radii a [m] and b [m], respectively. If b > a and no charge exists anywhere else, determine the total charge Q enclosed between the shells. The charge density is given as ρv = ρ0R/a [C/m3], where ρ0 is a constant and R is the radial coordinate.

The electric charge density is distributed symmetrically in a cylinder infinitely long in the z direction. The charge density is given by the expression: ρe(ρ) = {ρ0(ρb)2, ρ ≤ b0, ρ > b where ρ is the cylindrical coordinate, ρ0 is a constant and b is the radius of the cylinder. a) Find expressions for the electric field in the region ρ < b and the region ρ > b. b) If a grounded metallic shell is added at ρ = a(a > b) such that the electric field E→ = 0 for ρ > a. Calculate the electric surface charge density on the shell.

A solid conducting sphere of radius a is held at a constant potential V0 which is not necessarily zero. It is surrounded by a thin concentric spherical shell of radius b, as shown in Figure 1 , on which a surface charge density exists, given by σ(θ) = k cosθ where k is a constant and θ is the polar angle in spherical coordinates. The regions in-between the conductor and the shell, and outside the shell, are vacuum. Figure 1 (a) State the boundary conditions on the potential and its radial derivative at r = b. (b) You are given the general solution to Laplace’s equation with azimuthal symmetry, in the two regions, as follows: V(r,θ) = (P l Alr l + Bl r l+1 Pl(cos θ), for r ≥ b P l Clr l + Dl r l+1 Pl(cos θ), for a ≤ r ≤ b Determine the coefficients Al , Bl , Cl and Dl for all l. (c) Hence, show that the induced surface charge density on the inner conductor is given by σi(θ) = -kcosθ + V0 ϵ0/a The first two Legendre polynomials are given for this question: P0(x) = 1, P1(x) = x.
