Exercise E2 Electrostatics II
(written test, approx. 10 % of a 120-minute written test, SS2024)

You must analyze an aluminum profile for usage in an environment critical for electrostatic discharge.

The figure on the right shows the cross-section of the aluminum element (hatched). During the application, it might get charged up. All areas in white consist of air (= dielectric).

Six designated areas are shown by dashed frames and numbers n, which are partly inside the object.

Arrange the designated areas clearly according to ascending field strengths $|\vec{E}_n|$ (absolute magnitude)! Indicate also, if designated areas have quantitatively the same field strength.

Result

$|E_1|=|E_2|=0 < |E_5| < |E_6| < |E_4| < |E_3|$
