Charge of uniform volume density ÒÏ=3.2 μ°ä/m3 fills a nonconducting solid sphere of radius5.0cm. . What is the magnitude of the electric field

(a) 3.5cmand

(b) 8.0cmfrom the sphere’s center?

Short Answer

Expert verified

a) The magnitude of the electric fieldat3.5 cm from the center of the sphereis4.2×103 N/C .

b) The magnitude of the electric field at 8.0 cm from the center of the sphere is2.4×103 N/C .

Step by step solution

01

Listing the given quantities

  • Volume Charge densityÒÏ=3.2 μ°ä/m3
  • radius of the sphere = 5.0 cm
02

Understanding the concept of charge density and electric field

Since the charge distribution is uniform, we can find the total charge q by multiplying by the spherical volume(43Ï€°ù3)with r = R = 0.050 m.

This gives q = 1.68 nC.

03

Step 3: (a) Calculations for the magnitude of the electric field at r = 3.5 cm from the center of the sphere

Given r = 0.035 m.

The electric field can be calculated as:

Einternal=qr4πε0R3=9.0×109N.m2/C21.68×10-9C0.035m0.050m3=4.2×103N/C

The magnitude of the electric field at 3.5 cm from the center of the sphere is4.2×103N/C .

04

(b) Calculations for the magnitude of the electric field at r=8.0 cm from the center of the sphere

Outside the sphere, we have (with r = 0.080 m), then the electric field can be calculated as:

Einternal=qr4πε0R2=9.0×109N.m2/C21.68×10-9C0.080m2=2.4×103N/C

The magnitude of the electric field at 8.0 cm from the center of the sphere is 2.4×103N/C.

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 satellite1.3min diameter accumulates2.4μ°äof 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.

A charge of uniform linear density 2.0nC/m is distributed along a long, thin, non-conducting rod. The rod is coaxial with a long conducting cylindrical shell (inner radius=5.0 cm , outer radius=10 cm ). The net charge on the shell is zero. (a) What is the magnitude of the electric field from the axis of the shell? What is the surface charge density on the (b) inner and (c) outer surface of the shell?

At each point on the surface of the cube shown in Fig. 23-31, the electric field is parallel to the z-axis. The length of each edge of the cube is3.0m. On the top face of the cube the field is E→=-34k^N/Cand on the bottom face it isE→=+20k^N/C Determine the net charge contained within the cube.

Figure 23-29 shows four Gaussian surfaces consisting of identical cylindrical midsections but different end caps. The surfaces are in a uniform electric fieldE→that is directed parallel to the central axis of each cylindrical midsection. The end caps have these shapes:S1, convex hemispheres;S3, concave hemispheres;S3, cones;S4, flat disks. Rank the surfaces according to (a) the net electric flux through them and (b) the electric flux through the top end caps, greatest first.

An electron is shot directly toward the center of a large metal plate that has surface charge density -2.00×10-6C/m2. If the initial kinetic energy of the electron isand if the electron is1.60×10-17J to stop (due to electrostatic repulsion from the plate) just as it reaches the plate, how far from the plate must the launch point be?
