3 . A charge q is uniformly distributed on the surface of a hemisphere of radius R situated above the x-y plane. That is, the surface is represented by S = { (Rsinθcosφ,Rsinθsinφ,Rcosθ) 0 θ π/2, 0 φ < 2π}. What is the electric field at the origin? (Express your answer in terms of q, ǫ 0 and R.)

4 2. Within the volume of an infinitely long cylindrical pipe of radius R centred about the x-axis a charge is uniformly distributed with charge density ρ 0. Use Gauss Law to find the electric field within the pipe. (Express your answer in terms of ρ 0, ǫ 0, and the radial distance r from the x-axis.) NOTE: You need only perform this calculation for r R.

5 3. The electric field within a uniformly charged sphere of radius R centred at the origin is E = q r R 3ˆr where q is the charge and r R is the distance from the origin. Assuming V = 0 at the origin, find the corresponding electric potential, V(r), within the sphere. (Express your answer in terms of q, ǫ 0, R and r.) NOTE: You need only perform this calculation for r R.

6 4. A spherical drop of mercury of radius a has capacitance C. This merges with an identical drop of mercury. What is the capacitance of the resulting larger spherical drop? (Express your answer in terms of C.) NOTE: Your answer should not depend explicitly upon the radius a of the drop.

7 If necessary, use this page for additional calculations.
