(III) A thin rod of length ℓ carries a total charge Q distributed uniformly along its length. See Fig. 21–69. Determine the electric field along the axis of the rod starting at one end—that is, find E(𝓍) for 𝓍 ≥ 0 in Fig. 21–69.

A large non-conducting slab of thickness $d$ has a uniform volume charge density $\rho$. What is $E_{\mathrm{in}}\left(x\right)$, the magnitude of the electric field at a distance $x$ from the center of the slab (where $\left|x\right|<\frac{d}{2}$)?

A thin glass rod is a semicircle of radius R, Fig. 21–81. A charge is nonuniformly distributed along the semicircle with a linear charge density given by λ = λ₀ sin θ, where λ₀ is a positive constant. Point P is at the center of the semicircle. (a) Find the electric field $\overrightarrow{E}$ (magnitude and direction) at point P. [Hint: Remember sin ( -θ) = - sin θ, so the two halves of the rod are oppositely charged.] (b) Determine the acceleration (magnitude and direction) of an electron placed at point P, assuming R = 1.0 cm and λ₀ = 1.0 μC/m.
