A conducting sphere with radius R is centered at the origin. The sphere is grounded having an electric potential of zero. A point charge Q is brought toward the sphere along the z- axis and is placed at the point ะ-8. As the point charge approaches the sphere mobile charge is drawn from the ground into the sphere. This induced charge arranges itself over the surface of the sphere, not in a uniform way, but rather in such a way...

A hollow sphere of radius a has uniform surface charge density σ and is centered at the origin. It sits inside a bigger sphere, also centered at the origin, with radius b > a and uniform surface charge density −σ. Because of the spherical symmetry, the electric field will have the form () = E(r) r̂, where negative E(r) corresponds to an electric field pointing towards the origin, and positive E(r) corresponds to a field pointing away. What is E(r)...

Problem 1: Dipole moment. We have a sphere of radius R with a uniform surface charge density +ao over the northern hemisphere, and -oo over the southern hemisphere (oo is a positive constant). There are no other charges present inside or outside the sphere. Compute the dipole moment p of this charge distribution assuming the z-axis is the symmetry axis of the distribution. Does p depend on your choice of origin? Why or why not? Are any components of p...
A sphere of radius R can rotate about a vertical axis on frictionless bearings (see figure below). Let the rotational inertia of the sphere be Isphere. A massless cord passes around the equator of the sphere, over a pulley with rotational inertia I pulley and radius r, and is attached to a small object of mass m. There is no friction on the pulley's axle and the cord does not slip on the pulley. At t = 0, the mass...
