Explanation / Answer
charge, q = 10-6 C radius of shell, r = 18 cm =0.18 m (a) magnitude of the electric field just outside shell =(1/4o) ( q / r 2) = 9 * 10^9 * (10 -6 / 0.18 2 ) =277.77*10^3 V/m = 277.77 kV/m magnitude of the electric fieldjust inside shell = 0 (b) magnitude of the electric potential justoutside shell = (1/4o) ( q / r )= 9 * 10^9 * ( 10 -6 / 0.18 ) =50 ,000 V magnitude of theelectric potential just inside shell= (1/4o) ( q / r ) = 9 * 10^9 * (10 -6 / 0.18 ) =50 ,000 V (c) electric potential at the center of the shell =(1/4o) ( q / r ) = 9 * 10^9 * ( 10-6 / 0.18 ) =50 ,000 V electric field at thecenter of the shell = 0 =50 ,000 V (c) electric potential at the center of the shell =(1/4o) ( q / r ) = 9 * 10^9 * ( 10-6 / 0.18 ) =50 ,000 V =50 ,000 V electric field at thecenter of the shell = 0Related Questions
