A spherical volume of space has an electric field of intensity 130 N/C directed radially outward from it surface of radius 0.4 m. What is the net charge enclosed within this surface? (ε0 = 8.85 × 10–12 F/m)

Respuesta :

Answer:

Therefore,

The net charge enclosed within this surface is

[tex]Q=2.31\times 10^{-9}\ C[/tex]

Explanation:

Given:

Radius, r = 0.4 m

Electric field at the sphere's surface

E = 130 N/C

To Find:

Charge, Q = ?

Solution:

Electric field at the sphere's surface is given as,

[tex]E=\dfrac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_{0}}\times \dfrac{Q}{r^{2}}[/tex]

Where,

E = Electric Field ,

ε0 = permeability free space = 8.85 × 10–12 F/m

Q = Charge

r  =  Radius

Substituting the values we get

[tex]130=\dfrac{1}{4\pi\times 8.85\times 10^{-12}}\times \dfrac{Q}{(0.4)^{2}}[/tex]

[tex]Q=20.8\times 4\times 3.14\times 8.85\times 10^{-12}=2.31\times 10^{-9}\ C[/tex]

Therefore,

The net charge enclosed within this surface is

[tex]Q=2.31\times 10^{-9}\ C[/tex]
