Find the electric field inside and outside a hollow plastic ball of radius R that has chargeQ uniformly distributed on its outer surface.

Short Answer

Expert verified

Electric field inside a hollow plastic ball is 0nC.

Electric field outside a hollow plastic ball is14πϵoQr2.

Step by step solution

01

Figure for Electric field inside a hollow plastic ball  

Figure is,

02

Calculation for electric field inside a hollow plastic ball  

Electric flux

Φe=EA=Qinϵo

localid="1648763653778" E=QinϵoA...1

The charge is spread on the outside surface of a plastic sphere, which is not conductive.

As a result, the sphere's net charge is zero.

The quantity of charge in the bulk determines the electric field.

As a result of the net charge being zero.

Inside the sphere, the electric field is zero.

Ein=0N/C

04

Calculation for electric field outside a hollow plastic ball  

The Gaussian surface enclosed net charge for a point outside the spher+Q.

The enclosed surface's area is

A=4Ï€°ù2

This charge is enclosedlocalid="1648918575953" Qinin the gaussian surface is,

Qin=Q

Substitute all values in equation 1,

We get,

Eout=QinϵoA

=Qϵo4Ï€°ù2

=14πϵoQr2
