Frequently in physics, one makes simplifying approximations. A common one in electricity is the notion of infinite charged sheets. This approximation is useful when a problem deals with points whose distance from a finite charged sheet is small compared to the size of the sheet. In this problem, you will look at the electric field from two finite sheets and compare it to the results for infinite sheets to get a better idea of when this approximation is valid. What is the magnitude E of the electric field at the point on thex axis with x coordinate a/2?

Intro: a solid ball of radius rb has a uniform charge density ρ. part a: what is the magnitude of the electric field e(r) at a distance r> rb from the center of the ball? express your answer in terms of ρ, rb, r, and ϵ0. part b: what is the magnitude of the electric field e(r) at a distance r express your answer in terms of ρ, rb, r, and ϵ0. part c: let e(r) represent the electric field due to the charged ball throughout all of space. which of the following statements about the electric field are true? check all that apply. e(0) = 0 e(rb)=0 limr→∞e(r)=0 the maximum electric field occurs when r=0 the maximum electric field occurs when r=rb the maximum electric field occurs as r→∞.
