Chapter 24: 61 - Excercises And Problems (page 658)

| A spherical ball of charge has radius R and total charge Q. The electric field strength inside the ball 1r 鈥 R2 is E1r2 = r4 Emax /R4 . a. What is Emax in terms of Q and R? b. Find an expression for the volume charge density r1r2 inside the ball as a function ofr.c. Verify that your charge density gives the total charge Q when integrated over the volume of the ball

Short Answer

Expert verified

The maximum electric field is

Emax=Q40R2

So the charge density is

=6Q4R3r3R3

We can see that the charge density does equal Q when integrated over the volume of the sphere, given that's how it was derived.

Step by step solution

01

part (a) step 1: given information

We use Gauss' Law to find the electric field inside the slab of a given thickness.

=Eda=Q0

Where

is the Electric Flux

E is the Electric Field

d a is the area

Q is the total charge

0 is the permittivity

The Emax or the maximum electric field is equal to the electric field at the surface of the sphere of radius R. It can be evaluated by Gauss law for the total charge density Q and spherical area4R2

Substituting all the values in Gauss Law:

Emax4R2=Q0

This reduces to

Emax=Q40R2

02

part (b) step 1: given information

From part(a) the maximum electric field is

Emax=Q40R2

Emax is the maximum Electric Field

R is the radius of sphere

Q is the total charge

0 is the permittivity

Let us assume a charge density

=0r3R3

Where

r is the radius

R is the radius of sphere

The differential charge d q inside the sphere with charge distribution \rho and differential volume d v is given by the expression:

dq=dv

The total charge in the sphere can be evaluated as

dq=0r3R34r2dr

Integrating we get:

Q=dq=0r3R34r2dr

Evaluating the integral between 0 and Rwe get:

Q=40R66R3

From the above equation we can confirm that

0=6Q4R3

To evaluate the total charge inside the sphere, we have to repeat the process above except that we must replace R with r

Q(r)=40r66R3

The electric field inside the sphere can be evaluated as

E=Q(r)4r20R2r6R4

Which is nothing but

E=Emaxr4R4

03

part (c) step 1: given information

From part(b) the charge density is

=6Q4R3r3R3

Where

r is the radius

R is the radius of sphere

Q is the total charge

0 is the permittivity

The total charge is given by

Q=dq=dv

Where

d v is the differential volume

Q is the total charge

is the charge density

From the above equation, substitute

=6Q4R3r3R3

and the differential volume dv=4r2drand limits 0 and R. The total charge is:

Q=0Rdv=0R6Q4R3r3R34r2dr

Q=0R6Q4R3r3R34r2dr=0R6Qr5R6dr=6QR66R6=Q
