You are working for the summer at a research laboratory. Your research director has devised a scheme for holding small charged particles at fixed positions. The scheme is shown in the figure below. An insulating cylinder of radius a and length L ≫ a is positively charged and carries a uniform volume charge density ρ. A very thin tunnel is drilled through a diameter of the cylinder and two small spheres with charge q are placed in the tunnel. These spheres are represented by the blue dots in the figure. They find equilibrium positions at a distance of r on opposite sides of the axis of the cylinder. Your research director has had great success with this scheme. Determine the specific value of r at which equilibrium exists. (Use the following as necessary: q and ρ.)

Q. 30: A hollow spherical conductor of radius R has a charge Q on it. A small dent on the surface decreases the volume of the spherical conductor by 2%. Assume that the charge density on the surface does not change due to the dent and the electric field in the dent region remains same as other points on the surface. (a) AE is the electrostatic energy stored in the electric field in the shallow dent region and E is the total electrostatic energy of the spherical shell. Find the ΔΕ ratio E (b) Using the ratio obtained in part (a) calculate the percentage change in capacitance of the sphere due to the dent.

+ ++ The figure above shows a cross section of a very long, hollow dielectric (insulating) tube (the outer, lighter colored region with + signs) with charge distributed uniformly throughout the tube walls. The volume charge density in the tube wall is p. This tube has inner radius a, and outer radius b, and length L that is much greater than b. The region inside the tube (r b) are empty. (The reason it is important that the tube is made of an insulator is that we can have charge distributed throughout its material; As we have discussed (or will soon,) all the excess charge on a conductor ends up at the surfaces of the conductor. Using Gauss's law, find the magnitude of the electric field at any point inside the tube wall (a b, the field should be the same as that of a long line of uniform charge whose charge per unit length is given by the charge density p multiplied by the cross sectional area of the tube wall. Does your expression derived in step (c) correctly model this behavior?
