a long solid rod 4.5 cm in radius carries a uniform volume charge density. if the electric field strength at the surface of the rod (not near either end) is 16 kn/c, what is the volume charge density

6.29 μC/m³

Explanation:

Volume charge density is the quantity of charge per unit volume.

The direction of the electric field was not specified, therefore the volume charge density (ρ) is given by:

2πRLE = ρπR²L/ε₀

ρ = 2Eε₀ / R

Where E = electric field strength = 16 kN/C = 16 * 10³ N/C, R = radius of rod = 4.5 cm = 0.045 m, ε₀ = relative permittivity of free space = 8.85 * 10⁻¹² C² / Nm²

Therefore:

ρ = 2(16 * 10³ N/C)(8.85 * 10⁻¹² C²/Nm²) / 0.045 m = 6.29 * 10⁻⁶ C/m³

ρ = 6.29 μC/m³

this is a good question! i'll do some research and come back when i have the answer!

electromagnetic shielding is the practice of reducing the electromagnetic field in a space by blocking the field with barriers made of conductive or magnetic materials. shielding is typically applied to enclosures to isolate electrical devices from their surroundings, and to cables to isolate wires from the environment through which the cable runs. electromagnetic shielding that blocks radio frequency electromagnetic radiation is also known as rf shielding.

the shielding can reduce the coupling of radio waves, electromagnetic fields and electrostatic fields. a conductive enclosure used to block electrostatic fields is also known as a faraday cage. the amount of reduction depends very much upon the material used, its thickness, the size of the shielded volume and the frequency of the fields of interest and the size, shape and orientation of apertures in a shield to an incident electromagnetic
