v  r 2 cos  rˆ  r 2 cos θˆ  r 2 cos  sin ˆ, using as your volume

one octant of the sphere of radius R (Fig. 2). Make sure you
include the entire surface. [Answer:R4/4]

6. A long coaxial cable (Fig. 4) carries a uniform volume


charge density  on the inner cylinder (radius a), and a
uniform surface charge density on the outer cylindrical shell
(radius b). This surface charge is negative and is of just Fig. 4 Figure for problem 6.
the right magnitude that the cable as a whole is electrically neutral.

(ii) between the cylinders (a < s < b), (iii) outside the cable (s > b).
(b) Plot |E| as a function of s.
(c) Find the potential difference between a point on the axis and a point on the outer cylinder.

7. Consider an infinite chain of point charges, q (with alternating signs), strung out along
the x axis, each a distance a from its nearest neighbors. Find the work per particle required

to assemble this system. [Partial answer:  q 2 / (4 0 a) , for some dimensionless number ;

your problem is to determine . It is known as the Madelung constant. Calculating the


Madelung constant for 2- and 3-dimensional arrays is much more subtle and difficult. See
“Principles of the Theory of Solids” by J. M. Ziman, Sec. 2.3, (Cambridge U. Press, 1972)].
