Each group will be given one of the charge distributions given below: (\(\alpha\) and \(k\) are constants with dimensions appropriate for the specific example.)
For your group's case, answer the following questions:
Spherical Symmetry - A positively charged (dielectric) spherical shell of inner radius \(a\) and outer radius \(b\) with a spherically symmetric internal charge density:
\(\rho (\vec{r}) = \alpha\, \frac{1}{r^{2}}\, e^{(kr)}\)
Cylindrical Symmetry - A positively charged (dielectric) cylindrical shell of inner radius \(a\) and outer radius \(b\) and height \(H\) with a cylindrically symmetric internal charge density:
\(\rho (\vec{r}) =\alpha\, e^{(ks)^{2}}\)
