Time: 90 Minutes
Aid allowed: A UTSC allowed calculator and a one-page hand written
formula sheet (no problems) to be collected at the end of the test.
Q1 (12 points):
A. Use index symbols to verify the following identities
B. Check the divergence theorem for the function
using the volume of the "ice-cream cone" shown in Figure (the top
surface is spherical, with radius R and centered at the origin).
Q2 (10 points):
A. Show that the electric flux through a square surface of edges 2 due to a charge + located at a perpendicular distance
from the center of the square, as shown in Figure, is given by
B. An infinite plane slab, of thickness 2, carries a uniform volume
charge density .
i. Find the electric field, as a function of , where = 0 at the
center.
ii. Plot versus , calling positive when it points in the +
direction and negative when it points in the -direction.

Q3: (10 points):
A. A thin rod with a uniform charge per unit length is bent into
the shape of an arc of a circle of radius . The arc subtends a
total angle 2θ0 , symmetric about the x-axis, as shown in Figure
to right.
i. What is the electric field at the origin O?
ii. Discuss the limits of the electric field for Θ0 → , 23, and 0.
