  7. Figure 23-29 shows four Gaussian surfaces consisting of identical cylindrical midsections but different end caps. The surfaces are in a uniform electric fieldE→that is directed parallel to the central axis of each cylindrical midsection. The end caps have these shapes:S1, convex hemispheres;S3, concave hemispheres;S3, cones;S4, flat disks. Rank the surfaces according to (a) the net electric flux through them and (b) the electric flux through the top end caps, greatest fi

  9. Flux and non-conducting shells. A charged particle is suspended at the center of two concentric spherical shells that are very thin and made of non-conducting material. Figure 23-37a shows a cross section. Figure 23-37b gives the net flux ϕ through a Gaussian sphere centered on the particle, as a function of the radius r of the sphere. The scale of the vertical axis is set by ϕ=5.0×105Nm2/C. (a) What is the charge of the central particle? What are the net charges of (b) shell A and (c) shell B?
