Electromagnetic Tutorial 3

This document contains 6 questions regarding electromagnetic fields and Gauss's law. Question 1 involves computing the electric displacement D at different radial distances around charged spherical surfaces. Question 2 uses Gauss's law to calculate the total flux and enclosed charge within a charged cube. Question 3 calculates the volume charge density and electric field strength at different radial distances from a central charge distribution. Question 4 finds the electric potential and field from two point charges. Questions 5 and 6 involve computing various electromagnetic quantities for given potential distributions.
