Chapter 19.2, Problem 2cTH
Consider the surface element A itself as composed of many even smaller pieces. Would the number of field lines through each of those new small surface elements vary much from one to another? Explain.
Describe how the field lines for the positive point charge appear to be distributed when the region over which you look becomes sufficiently small.

There is a slab of thickness B. Imagine the slab as the space between two parallel infinite planes. The slab is uniformly charged. There is a empty spherical void inside the slab. The void has a radius of G. What is the electric field inside the void (HINT: IT IS NOT ZERO since the charge distribution is not symmetrical). What happens to the field of that slab if a sphere of charge is removed from that slab?
(Hint, use advanced E&M techniques).
Assume you have a proton in an atom, and that proton is surrounded by an electron shell where the charge is evenly distributed across

A thin rod lies on the z-axis with one end at - A and the other end at A, as shown in the diagram. A charge of Q is spread uniformly over
the surface of the rod. We want to set up an integral to find the electric field at location due to the rod. Following the
procedure discussed in the textbook, we have cut up the rod into small segments, each of which can be considered as a point charge. We
have selected a typical piece, shown in red on the diagram.
