It helps in regulating extremes in the environment.

It can be used as a car radiators.

Explanation:

The amount of heat needed to raise a certain amount of temperature to the water is known as the specific heat of the water. For one gram of water to increase 1 degree celsius, water needs to absorb 4.184 J of heat.

Some of the uses of high specific heat of water are as follows,

The temperature of the water will remain the same from day to night in ponds or sea. During day time, the hot air from the sea or pond rises while the cool air from the sea moves to take its place. During the night, the hot air from the land moves to take its place, giving rise to a land breeze and thus maintaining the environment.

Another example, When water is circulated throughout an engine, heat will get absorbed. This water is pumped to a radiator and then disposed to the surrounding air.

Find the potential inside and outside a uniformly charged solid sphere whose radius is R and whose total charge is q. Use infini

amid [387]

Answer:

Recall that the electric field outside a uniformly charged solid sphere is exactly the same as if the charge were all at a point in the centre of the sphere:

$E_{outside} =\frac{1}{4\pi(e_{0})}\frac{Q}{r^{2} } r^{'}$

lnside the sphere, the electric field also acts like a point charge, but only for the proportion of the charge further inside than the point r:

$E_{inside} =\frac{1}{4\pi(e_{0})}\frac{Q}{R^{2} } \frac{r}{R} r^{'}$

To find the potential, we integrate the electric field on a path from infinity (where of course, we take the direct path so that we can write the it as a 1 D integral):

$V(r>R)=\int\limits^r_\infty {\frac{1}{4\pi(e_{0)} }\frac{Q}{r^2} } \, dr=\frac{q}{4\pi(e_{0)} } \frac{1}{r} \\V(r$
