Answer:

The electric field at a distance r = 0.02 m is 14062.5 N/C.

Solution:

Refer to fig 1.

As per the question:

Radius of sphere, R = 0.04 m

Charge, Q = 5.0\times 10^{- 9} C

Distance from the center at which electric field is to be calculated, r = 0.02 m

Now,

According to Gauss' law:

E.dx = \frac{Q_{enclosed}}{\epsilon_{o}}

Now, the charge enclosed at a distance r is given by volume charge density:

\rho = \frac{Q_{enclosed}}{area}

\rho = \frac{Q_{enclosed}}{\frac{4}{3}\pi R^{3}}

Also, the charge enclosed Q' at a distance r is given by volume charge density:

\rho = \frac{Q'_{enclosed}}{\frac{4}{3}\pi r^{3}}

Since, the sphere is no-conducting, Volume charge density will be constant:

Thus

\frac{Q_{enclosed}}{\frac{4}{3}\pi R^{3}} = \frac{Q'_{enclosed}}{\frac{4}{3}\pi r^{3}}

Thus charge enclosed at r:

Q'_{enclosed} = \frac{Q_{enclosed}}{\frac{r^{3}}{R^{3}}

Now, By using Gauss' Law, Electric field at r is given by:

4\pi r^{2}E = \frac{Q_{enclosed}r^{3}}{\epsilon_{o}R^{3}}

Thus

E = \frac{Q_{enclosed}r}{4\pi\epsilon_{o}R^{3}}

E = \frac{(9\times 10^{9})\times 5.0\times 10^{- 9}\times 0.02}{0.04^{3}}

E = 14062.5 N/C

Can something change states of matter how do you know
belka [17]
Yes, it can change states of matter from heat. Like ice, ice changes it’s state of matter from the temperature it is in, which causes it to turn into a liquid.(another form of matter) Again with heat, if water is boiled to a certain temperature it converts to a gas. Now with cold. If water is at such a coke temperature it will turn to ice, a form of matter. Now when a gas is cooled down, the atoms comprising the gas have less energy to move around.

What is dark energy and what evidence do astronomers have that it is an important component of the universe?
PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:

The existance of dark energy was suggested to help explain measurements, using Type Ia supernovae as distance indicators, that the expansion of the universe is speeding up and its acceleration requires a source of energy. Scientists suggested that It may be a new form of energy for which there is not yet a theoretical explanation. quantum mechanics predict that it may be the vacuum energy associated with "empty" space itself.

An astronomer discovers a massive galaxy which has four nuclei. What is a likely explanation for a galaxy having more than one n
statuscvo [17]

The universe is made of a lot of galaxies. The likely explanation for a galaxy having more than one nucleus is that the galaxy must have swallowed several smaller galaxies that were its neighbors.

  • There are some reason behind the theory that the eating up of a galaxy is by another galaxy. The galaxy is said to have a  powerful past due to the fact  that a lot of smaller galaxies were eaten up.

The universe is known to have a very largest galaxy called the giant elliptical galaxy that is made up of about a trillion stars.
