A solid sphere of radius 40.0 cm has a total positive charge of 16.2 μC uniformly distributed throughout its volume. Calculate t
Jobisdone [24]

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

Which evidence did Alfred Wegener’s original theory of continental drift have access to?
Sophie [7]

Answer:

Evidence for continental drift

Wegener knew that fossil plants and animals such as mesosaurs, a freshwater reptile found only South America and Africa during the Permian period, could be found on many continents. He also matched up rocks on either side of the Atlantic Ocean like puzzle pieces.
