Question

Consider a thin spherical shell of radius 12.6 cm with a total charge of 14.3 ?C distributed uniformly on its surface.

Consider a thin spherical shell of radius 12.6 cm with a total charge of 14.3 pC distributed uniformly on its surface. Find the electric field 9.4 cm from the center of the charge distribution. Answer in units of N/C Find the electric field 28.6 cm from the center of the charge distribution. Answer in units of N/C Consider a thin spherical shell of radius 12.6 cm with a total charge of 14.3 ?C distributed uniformly on its surface.

Explanation / Answer

Since charge is only on the surface and radius = 12.6 cm so, at 9.4 cm there will be no electric field, as there is no charge enclosed For thin shell charge can be considered to be at the center So, a) E = Kq/r^2 = 9*10^9 * 14.3*10^-6 / (0.286)^2 = 1.57 N/C
