Koon EXAM I (Be sure you know your prefixes from pico through mega.) Useful constants: k=9×109N·m2/C2, e=1.602×10-19C 1. Verify that the electric field is the gradient of the potential for the following case. Consider an electron at the origin. a) What is the potential for a point at x=0.99m along the x-axis? For x=1.01m? Keep at least five significant figures for each. b) Estimate Ex from the results of part (a), to four significant figures. c) Calculate the electric field at x=1.00m directly, keeping four significant figures. 2. Given the electric field,, within a sphere of radius R. a) Show that the charge density, ?, in this region of space is given by . (You may want to use the fact that , etc.) b) Show that the total charge inside a sphere of radius R is. c) Verify Gauss’ Law for a sphere of radius R. 3. Consider the vector function: . a) Can this function represent an actual electrostatic field? Why or why not? b) If the function can represent an electrostatic field, find the electrostatic potential funct
