Question

A nonconductive solid sphere of radius 2.6 cm carries a uniformly distributed charge of 7.5E-09 Coulumbs. -assume the sphere is now conducting. Calculate the magnitude of the electric field for the conducting sphere at a point 3.2 cm away from the center of the sphere.

Calculate the magnitude of the electric field for the conducting sphere at a point 3.2 cm away from the center of the sphere.

Explanation / Answer

here,

Due to conducting sphere carrying a charge Q , Electric field at a distance d is given by

E = KQ/d^2

then

Q =  7.5E-09

d = 3.2 cm

E = 9*10^9 * 7.5 * 10^-9/.032^2

E = 6.6 * 104 N/C

the magnitude of the electric field for the conducting sphere is  6.6 * 104 N/C
