Explanation / Answer



Use gauss's law to find the electric field for each of thefollowing four cases. a.) A uniform infinite plane of charge
E=/2o
where is surface charge density.


b.) a uniformly charged infinite plane conductor
E=/2or
where l is the charge enclosed in a gaussian surface as alength l of the line charge is inside the closed surface.
c.) A uniformly charged counducting sphere of radius R
E=Q/4or2 d.)A uniformly charged conducting sphere of radius R near thesurface. Use the fact that any conductor

will look like a plane if you are close to the surface . Doesyour answer agree with part c.) above?
