[Draw the electric field around Earth. Draw a Gaussian surface and use Gauss’ law, explaining your steps.] If the Earth were a large conducting sphere, what would the (negative) surface charge density have to be to maintain an electric field of 150.0 N/C at the surface? Use ε0 = 8.85 x 10-12 C2/N m2 and give your answer to 2 s.f.

Did any of your field lines cross? Should they? Why, or why not? None of the field lines crossed, nor should they. They are a line of constant potential and the equipotential can have only one value at a given point in space. If the electric field lines were to intersect, they would render a location with two different strong electric field vectors and so would not accurately represent equipotential lines. Did any of your equipotential surfaces cross? Should they?...

Escaping field lines Charges 2q and −q are located on the x-axis at x = 0 and x = a, respectively.(a) Find the point on the x-axis where the electric field is zero, and make a rough sketch of some field lines.(b) You should find that some of the field lines that start on the 2q charge end up on the −q charge, while others head off to infinity. Consider the field lines that form the cutoff between these two...
