Step by step solution

01

Calculation for ball's volume density (part a)

(a).

Density of volume charge is,

ÒÏ=QV.......1

Charge on the ball is80nC.

Qin=(80nC)1×10-9CnC=80×10-9C

The volume of the ball equals since it is formed like a sphere.

V=43Ï€°ù3=43Ï€(0.20m)3=3.35×10-2m3

ÒÏ=QV=80×10-9C3.35×10-2m3=2.4×10-6C/m3

02

Calculation for charge of radius5,10and20cm

(b).

The charge is,

Q=ÒÏV=ÒÏ43Ï€°ù3=43Ï€ÒÏr3

For radius r=5cm=0.05m:

Charge is,

Qr=5cm=43Ï€ÒÏr3

=43π2.4×10-6C/m3(0.05m)3

=1.25×10-9C

=1.25nC

For radius r=10cm=0.10m:

Charge is,

Qr=10cm=43Ï€ÒÏr3

=43π2.4×10-6C/m3(0.10m)3

=10×10-9C=10nC

For radius r=20cm=0.20m:

Charge is,

Qr=20cm=43Ï€ÒÏr3

=43π2.4×10-6C/m3(0.20m)3

=80.4×10-9C=80.4nC

03

Calculation for Electric field strength at points 5,10and20 cm.(part c)

(c).

The current of electricity is,

Φe=EA=Qinϵo

E=Qin4πϵor2

field of electricity,

In terms of distancer=5cm:

Er=5cm=14πϵoQT=5cmr2

=14π8.85×10-12C2/N·m21.25×10-9C(0.05m)2

=5×103N/C

In terms of distance r=10cm:

Er=10cm=14πϵoQr=10cmr2

=14π8.85×10-12C2/N·m210×10-9C(0.10m)2

=9×103N/C

In terms of distance r=20cm:

Er=20cm=14πϵoQr=20cmr2

=14π8.85×10-12C2/N·m280.4×10-9C(0.20m)2

=18×103N/C
