Answer: The electric field at one face of a parallelepiped
Chapter 22, Problem 37P(choose chapter or problem)
The electric field \(\overline{E_{1}}\) at one face of a parallelepiped is uniform over the entire face and is directed out of the face. At the opposite face, the electric field \(\overline{E_{2}}\) is also uniform over the entire face and is directed into that face (Fig. P22.37). The two faces in question are inclined at from the horizontal, while \(\overline{E_{1}}\) and \(\overline{E_{2}}\) are both horizontal; \(\overline{E_{1}}\) has a magnitude of \(2.50 \times 10^{4} \mathrm{~N} / \mathrm{C}\), and \(\overline{E_{2}}\) has a magnitude of \(7.00 \times 10^{4} N / C\). (a) Assuming that no other electric field lines cross the surfaces of the parallelepiped, determine the net charge contained within. (b) Is the electric field produced only by the charges within the parallelepiped, or is the field also due to charges outside the parallelepiped? How can you tell?
