Step by step solution

01

Listing the given quantities

ÒÏ=1.84nC/m3

Inner radius a = 10.0 cm, and outer radius b = 2.00a

02

Understanding the concept of charge density and electric field

Using the concept of charge density for the given region the magnitude of the electric field is determined.

03

(a) Explanation

The field is zero for 0≤r≤aas a result of Eq. 23-16. Thus

E = 0 at r = 0,

The magnitude of the electric field at radial distance r = 0, is zero

04

(b) Explanation

The field is zero for 0≤r≤aas a result of Eq. 23-16. Thus

E = 0 at r = a/2.

The magnitude of the electric field at radial distance r = a/2.00 is zero

05

(c) Explanation

The field is zero for 0≤r≤aas a result of Eq. 23-16.

Thus E = 0 at r = a

The magnitude of the electric field at radial distance r = a is zero

06

(d) Calculations for the magnitude of the electric field

For a≤r≤bthe enclosed charge qenc(for a≤r≤b) is related to the volume by

qenc=ÒÏ4Ï€r33-4Ï€a33

The electric field will be,

E=qenc4πε0r2=ÒÏ4πε0r24Ï€°ù23-4Ï€²¹33=ÒÏ3ε0r3-a3r2

Fora≤r≤b

For r = 1.50a, we have

E=ÒÏ3ε01.50a3-a31.50a2=ÒÏa3ε02.3752.25=1.84×10-9C/m30.10m38.85×10-12C2/N.m22.3752.25=7.32N/C

The magnitude of the electric field at radial distance r=1.50a is7.32N/C

07

(e) Calculations for the magnitude of the electric field at r=b

For r = b = 2.00a, the electric field is

E=ÒÏ3ε02.00a3-a32.00a2=ÒÏa3ε074=1.84×10-9C/m30.10m38.85×10-12C2/N.m274=12.1N/C

The magnitude of the electric field at radial distance r=b is12.1N/C

08

(f) Calculations for the magnitude of the electric field at r=3.00b

For r≥bwe have E=qtotal4πε0r2or

E=ÒÏ3ε0b3-a3r2

Thus, for r = 3.00b = 6.00a, the electric field is

E=ÒÏ3ε02.00a3-a36.00a2=ÒÏa3ε0736=1.84×10-9C/m30.10m38.85×10-12C2/N.m2736=1.35N/C

The magnitude of the electric field at radial distance r = 3.00b is1.35N/C
