4-1.      A long conducting cylinder bearing charge l per unit length is oriented parallel to a grounded conducting plane of infinite extent. The axis of the cylinder is a distance d from the plane and the radius of the cylinder is R. Find the location of the line image. Can you determine the potential for all space?

 

4-2.      A point dipole p is placed at the center of a solid dielectric sphere of radius R and dielectric constant e. Find the electric field at points inside and outside the sphere. (Hint: The field outside is a dipole field; inside another term is needed in addition to the dipole.)

 

4-3.           Problem 4.8 in Jackson
