Answer:

(a) E=0  :   0 cm from the center of the sphere

(b) E= 227.8*10³ N/C   :    10.0 cm from the center of the sphere

(c)E= 911.25*10³ N/C    :    40.0 cm from the center of the sphere

(d)E= 411.84 * 10³ N/C  :    59.5 cm from the center of the sphere

Explanation:

If we have a uniform charge sphere we can use the following formulas to calculate the Electric field due to the charge of the sphere

E=\frac{K*Q}{r^{2} } : Formula (1) To calculate the electric field in the region outside the sphere r ≥ a

E=k*\frac{Q}{a^{3} } *r :Formula (2) To calculate the electric field in the inner region of the sphere. r ≤ a

Where:

K: coulomb constant

a: sphere radius

Q:  Total sphere charge

r : Distance from the center of the sphere to the region where the electric field is calculated

Equivalences

1μC=10⁻⁶C

1cm= 10⁻²m

Data

k= 9*10⁹ N*m²/C²

Q=16.2 μC=16.2 *10⁻⁶C

a= 40 cm = 40*10⁻²m = 0.4m

Problem development

(a)Magnitude of the electric field at  0 cm :

We replace r=0 in the formula (2) , then, E=0

(b) Magnitude of the electric field at 10.0 cm from the center of the sphere

r<a , We apply the Formula (2):

E=9*10^{9} *\frac{16.2*10^{-6} }{0.4^{3} } *0.1

E= 227.8*10³ N/C

(c) Magnitude of the electric field at 40.0 cm from the center of the sphere

r=a, We apply the Formula (1) :

E=\frac{9*10^{9}*16.2*10^{-6} }{0.4^{2} }

E= 911.25*10³ N/C

(d) Magnitude of the electric field at 59.5 cm from the center of the sphere  

r>a , We apply the Formula (1) :

E=\frac{9*10^{9}*16.2*10^{-6} }{0.595^{2} }

E= 411.84 * 10³ N/C

Light with energy equal to three times the work function of a given metal causes the metal to eject photoelectrons. What is the
Mrac [35]

The ratio of the maximum photoelectron kinetic energy to the work function will be 3:1.

<h3 /><h3>What is the photoelectric effect?</h3>

When a medium receives electromagnetic radiation, electrostatically charged particles are emitted from or inside it.

The emission of ions from a steel plate when light falls on it is a common definition of the effect. The substance could be a solid, liquid, or gas; and the released particles could be protons or electrons.

A particular metal emits photoelectrons when exposed to light with energy three times its work function:

\rm KE=3 \phi

The ratio of the maximum photoelectron kinetic energy to the work function will be;

R=\frac{E}{\phi} \\\\ R=\frac{3 \phi}{\phi} \\\\ R= 3

Hence, the ratio of the maximum photoelectron kinetic energy to the work function will be 3:1.

To learn more about the photoelectric effect refer to the link;
