A charge of 6.00 pCis spread uniformly throughout the volume of a sphere of radius r = 4.00 cm. What is the magnitude of the electric field at a radial distance of

(a) 6.00 cmand

(b) 3.00 cm?

Short Answer

Expert verified
  1. The magnitude of the electric field at a radial distance is 15.0 N/C.
  2. The magnitude of the electric field at a radial distance is 25.3 N/C.

Step by step solution

01

The given data

  1. Charge of the sphere, q = 6.00 pC.
  2. The radius of the sphere, R = 4.00 cm.
02

Understanding the concept of the electric field

First, we compare the radial distances with the radius of the sphere. So, using the formula of the electric field inside the sphere and outside the sphere, we can get the required values at the radial distances.

Formulae:

The magnitude of the electric field at a point r due to charged particles outside the sphere,

E=q4πε0r2E= (i)

The magnitude of the electric field at a point r due to charged particle inside the sphere,

E=q4πε0r2 (ii)

03

a) Calculation of the electric field at radial distance r = 6 cm

From the given data, we can see that this point is outside the sphere ( r = 6 cm). Thus, the magnitude of the electric field is given using equation (i) as follows:

E=(9.0×109Nm2/C2)(6.00×10-12C)(0.060m)2=15.0N/C

Hence, the value of the electric field is 15.0 N/C.

04

b) Calculation of the electric field at radial distance r = 3cm

From the given data, we can see that this point is inside the sphere . Thus, the magnitude of the electric field is given using equation (i) as follows:

E=(9.0×109Nm2/C2)(6.00×10-12C)(0.030m)(0.060m)2=25.3N/C

Hence, the value of the electric field is 25.3N/C.

Figure 23-42 is a section of a conducting rod of radiusR1=1.30mmand lengthL=11.00m inside a thin-walled coaxial conducting cylindrical shell of radiusR2=10.0R1 and the (same) length L. The net charge on the conducting rod isQ1=+3.40×10-12; that on the shell isQ2=-2.00Q1. What are the (a) magnitude Eand (b) direction (radially inward or outward) of the electric field at radial distancer=2.00R2? What are (c) Eand (d) the direction atr=5.00R1? What is the charge on the (e) interior and (f) exterior surface of the shell?

In Fig. 23-32, a butterfly net is in a uniform electric field of magnitude E=3.0mN/C. The rim, a circle of radiusa=11cm, is aligned perpendicular to the field. The net contains no net charge. Find the electric flux through the netting.

Two long, charged, thin-walled, concentric cylindrical shells have radii of3.0 cm and 6.0 cm . The charge per unit length is 5.0×10-6C/mon the inner shell and -7.0×10-6C/mon the outer shell. What are the (a) magnitude Eand (b) direction (radially inward or outward) of the electric field at radial distance r=4.0 cm ? What are (c) Eand (d) the direction at r=8.0 cm?

Figure 23-46a shows three plastic sheets that are large, parallel, and uniformly charged. Figure 23-46b gives the component of the net electric field along an x-axis through the sheets. The scale of the vertical axis is set byEs=6.0×105N/C. What is the ratio of the charge density on sheet 3 to that on sheet 2?
