Space vehicles traveling through Earth's radiation belts can intercept a significant number of electrons. The resulting charge buildup can damage electronic components and disrupt operations. Suppose a spherical metal satellite 1.3 m in diameter accumulates 3.9 μC of charge in one orbital revolution. a Find the resulting surface charge density. b Calculate the magnitude of the electric field just outside the surface of the satellite, due to the surface charge.

When a shower is turned on in a closed bathroom, the splashing of the water on the bare tub can fill the room's air with negatively charged ions and produce an electric field in the air as great as1000 N C-1. Consider a bathroom with dimensions 2.5 m×3.0 m×2.0 m. Along with the ceiling, floor, and four walls, approximate the electric field in the air as being directed perpendicular to the surface and as having a uniform magnitude of 500 N C-1. Also, treat those surfaces as forming a closed Gaussian surface around the room's air. What are (a) the volume charge density ρ and (b) the number of excess elementary charges e per cubic meter in the room's air?
