Question:
A point charge of -2.14uC is located in the center of a spherical cavity of radius 6.55cm inside an insulating spherical charged solid. The charge density in the solid is 7.35×10−4 C/m^3.
a) Calculate the magnitude of the electric field inside the solid at a distance of 9.50cm from the center of the cavity.
Express your answer using two significant figures.
Answer:
The magnitude of the electric field inside the solid at a distance of 9.50cm from the center of the cavity
Explanation:
A point charge ,q = is located in the center of a spherical cavity of radius ,
m inside an insulating spherical charged solid.
The charge density in the solid , d =
Distance from the center of the cavity,R =
Volume of shell of charge= V =
Charge on the shell ,Q =
Electric field at m due to shell
E1 =
Electric field at due to 'q' at center
E2 =
The magnitude of the electric field inside the solid at a distance of 9.50cm from the center of the cavity
= E2- E1
