Complete Question

A solid ball of radius rb has a uniform charge density ρ.

a.  What is the magnitude of the electric field E(r) at a distance r>rb from the center of the ball?  Express your answer in terms of ρ, rb, r, and ϵ0.

b.   What is the magnitude of the electric field E(r) at a distance r<rb from the center of the ball?  Express your answer in terms of ρ, r, rb, and ϵ0.

c.   Let E(r) represent the electric field due to the charged ball throughout all of space. Which of the following statements about the electric field are true?

1. E(0) = 0.

2. E(rb) = 0

3. lim E(r) = 0.

4. The maximum electric field occurs when r = 0.

5. The maximum electric field occurs when r = rb.

6. The maximum electric field occurs as r to infinity.

Answer:

a) the magnitude of E(r)= ρr³/3 ε₀r²

b) the magnitude at distance r from the centre E(r)= ρr/3 ε ₀ ( if r<rb)

c) statements 1(E(0) = 0), 3(E(0) = 0) and 5(The maximum electric field occurs when r = rb.) are true

Explanation:

given

charge density = ρ ,  ε

Volume of sphere , V = (⁴/₃)πr³

a) charge density = charge/volume

ρ = q ÷ V

make charge the subject of the formula

∴q = ρ × V=  ρ× (⁴/₃)πr³

where r³ = rb³(at distance rb³)

recall

E= q/4πε₀r²

E=  ρ × (⁴/₃)πrb³/4πε₀r²

∴E(r)= ρrb³/3 ε ₀r²

(b)  The Gaussian surface is inside the ball, therefore, surface only encloses a portion of ball's charge .

The net charge enclosed by the Gaussian surface is different to the of net charge enclosed in (a)

Recall

E= q/4πε₀r²

V= (⁴/₃)πr³

E=  ρ × (⁴/₃)πr³/4πε₀r²

∴E(r)= ρr/3 ε₀

(c)  E(0)= 0

limr-----∝

E(r)= 0

The maximum electric field occurs when r=rb.

Answer:

While a body is said to be in motion if it changes its position with respect to immediate surroundings.

A body is said to be in uniform motion if it covers equal distances in equal interval of time.

A body is said to be in non-uniform motion if it covers unequal distances in equal interval of time or vice-versa
