A solid insulating sphere of radius 5cm carries electric charge uniformly distri

Question

A solid insulating sphere of radius 5cm carries electric charge uniformly distributed throughout its volume. Concetric with the sphere is a conducting spherical sheel sith no net charge as shown in frigure Q24.11. The inner radius of the shell is 10cm, and the outer radius is 15cm. No other charges are nearby. (a)rank the magnitude of the electric field at points A (at radius 4cm) V (radius 8cm), C (raduys 12cm) and D (radius 16cm) from largest to smallest. Display any cases of equality in your ranking. (b) Similarly rank the elctric flux through concentric spherical surfaces through points A, B, C and D.

Explanation / Answer

r = 5 cm, RA = 4 cm, RB = 8 cm, Rc= 12 cm, RD = 16 cm, charge = Q a) EA = 0, EB = kQ/RB2, EC = kQ/RC2, ED= kQ/RD2 EB > EC > ED >0 b) A = 0, B = C= D = Q/0 B = C = D> A
