2. (a) (6 pts) As shown in Fig. 2(a), there is a uniform volume charge distribution (ρ >0) in the region -
2a≤x≤2a, and infinite in the y- and z-axes. Determine the magnitude and the direction of the electric field
on the x-axis, in the range 0≤x≤4a.
(b) (14 pts) As shown in Fig. 2(b), an infinitely long cylindrical (圓柱) section with the z-axis as its central
axis and with radius 2a in the charge distribution is removed from the above slab shown in Fig. 2(a).
Besides, a sphere of radius a locates at (a, 0, 0) with volume charge density of
ρ[1-r’2/a2], where r’ is the distance to the center of the sphere. Determine the magnitude and the direction
of the electric field at points P (a, 0, 0) and Q (4a, 0, 4a). (Use Gauss’s Law, draw the Gaussian surfaces,
and write down the answer in terms of ρ, a, and ε0.)
