A very large sheet of a conductor carries a uniform charge density of 4.00 pC/mm2 on its surfaces. What is the electric field strength 3.00 mm outside the surface of the conductor?

Respuesta :

Answer:

451977.40113 N/C

Explanation:

[tex]\epsilon_0[/tex] = Permittivity of free space = [tex]8.85\times 10^{-12}\ F/m[/tex]

[tex]\sigma[/tex] = Surface charge density = [tex]4\ pc/mm^2[/tex]

Electric field near the surface of a charged conductor is given by

[tex]E=\dfrac{\sigma}{\epsilon_0}\\\Rightarrow E=\dfrac{4\times 10^{-12}\times 10^{6}}{8.85\times 10^{-12}}\\\Rightarrow E=451977.40113\ N/C[/tex]

The electric field is 451977.40113 N/C
