Answer:
A ) E/8
Explanation:
If the sphere of radius R carries charge Q, then the volumetric charge density is:
ρ₁ = [Q/ (4/3)*π*R³]
Therefore the net charge inside r ( r < R ) is:
q₁ = ρ * (4/3)*π*r³
And E = K * q₁/r K = 9,98 *10⁹ [N*m²/C²]
E = K * ρ * (4/3)*π*r³/r
E = K * ρ * (4/3)*π*r²
If now the charge is distributed over a sphere of radius 2R
ρ₂ = [Q/ (4/3)*π*(2R)³]
ρ₂ = [Q/ (4/3)*π*8*R³]
Then ρ₂ < ρ₁ in fact ρ₂ = (1/8)*ρ₁
The electric field depends on the net charge enclosed by a gaussian surface, and the distance between the net charge and the considered point, ( considering the net charge as being at the center of the gaussian surface) In this case, there was no distance change then
E₂ = E₁/8
The right answer is lyrics A ) E/8
