Question
Exercise 21.29
A solid sphere 29 cm in radius carries 14 C , distributed uniformly throughout its volume.
Part A
Find the electric field strength 19 cm from the sphere's center.
Express your answer using two significant figures.
E1= MN/C
Part B
Find the electric field strength 29 cm from the sphere's center.
Express your answer using two significant figures.
E2= MN/C
Part C
Find the electric field strength 58 cm from the sphere's center.
Express your answer using two significant figures.
E3= MN/C
Explanation / Answer
A)
Use Gauss Law:
E*4*pi*r^2 = Qenclosed / ebsoleneo
Qenclosed = Total charge * r^3/R^3
= 14*10^-6 * (0.19)^3 / (0.29)^3
= 3.94*10^-6 C
E1*4*pi*r^2 = Qenclosed / ensoleneo
E1*4*pi*(0.19)^2 = (3.94*10^-6) / (8.854*10^-12)
E1 = 9.8*10^5 N/C
= 0.98 MN/C
Answer: 0.98 MN/C
B)
Qenclosed = Total charge
= 14*10^-6 C
E2*4*pi*r^2 = Qenclosed / ensoleneo
E2*4*pi*(0.29)^2 = (14*10^-6) / (8.854*10^-12)
E 2= 1.4*10^6 N/C
= 1.4 MN/C
Answer: 1.4 MN/C
C)
Qenclosed = Total charge
= 14*10^-6 C
E2*4*pi*r^2 = Qenclosed / ensoleneo
E2*4*pi*(0.58)^2 = (14*10^-6) / (8.854*10^-12)
E 2= 3.7*10^5 N/C
= 0.37 MN/C
Answer: 0.37 MN/C
