One thing I have learned in a long life: that all our science, measured against reality, is primitive and childlike and yet is the most precious thing we have.
ALBERT EINSTEIN

A conductor of circular cross section is constructed of steel ( = 6 106 mho / m ) in the region 0 < r < 1mm, and copper ( = 5.8 107 mho / m ), 1 < r < 1.5 mm. The total current carried by the conductor is 100 A. Calculate: (i) Jcu; (ii) Jst; (iii) Ecu; (iv) Est; (v) the voltage drop in 1 km of conductor. Two perfectly conducting surface are located at r = 2 and r = 10 cm. The total current passing radially outward through the medium between the spheres is 2.5 A. (i) Find the voltage and resistance between the spheres, and E in the region between the spheres, if a conducting material having = 0.02 mho/m is present for 2 < r < 10 cm. (ii) Repeat if = 0.001/r for 2 < r < 10 cm. (iii) Show that integrating the power dissipated per unit volume in part (ii) over the volume gives the total dissipated power. The cylindrical surfaces, r = 2 and 6 cm, are perfectly conducting, and the region between them is filled with a conducting material for which = 80 mho/m. If the current density is

The potential, V = 2x2 + 4y 2z2 V, exists in the free space surrounding a perfectly conducting surface. Point P(4, 3, 2) lies on the surface. (i) Give the equation of the surface. (ii) Find a unit outward normal to the surface at P, assuming the origin is inside the surface. (iii) Find s on the surface at P. (iv) Find E P . Given the potential field V = 10y(x3 + 5) V: (i) Find E at the surface y = 0. (ii) Show that the surface y = 0 is an equipotential surface.
