A) The balls uniform charge density is; 2.1188 × 10^(-6) C/m³

B) The amount of charge is enclosed by the spheres of radii 5, 10, and 20 cm are respectively;

1.1 nC, 8.875 nC, 71 nC.

C) The electric field strength at points 5, 10, and 20 cm from the center are respectively;

3960 N/C, 7987.5 N/C, 15976 N/C

Electric Field strength

A) The formula for the charge density is;

ρ = q/V

Where;

q is magnitude of chargeV is volume of sphere = (4/3)πr³

We are given;

Radius; r = 20 cm = 0.2 mMagnitude of charge; q = 71 nC = 71 × 10^(9) C

V = (4/3) × π × 0.2³

V = 0.03351 m³

Thus;

ρ = (71 × 10^(-9))/0.03351

ρ = 2.1188 × 10^(-6) C/m³

B) Let us make q the subject in the charge density equation to get;

q = ρV

I) At r = 5cm = 0.05 m

V = (4/3) × π × 0.05³

V = 0.0005236 m³

q = 2.1188 × 10^(-6) × 0.0005236

q = 1.1 × 10^(-9) C = 1.1 nC

II) At r = 10 cm = 0.1 m

V = (4/3) × π × 0.01³

V = 0.0041888 m³

q = 2.1188 × 10^(-6) × 0.0041888

q = 8.875 × 10^(-9) = 8.875 nC

III) At r = 20 cm, as seen in the initial question,

q = 71 nC

C) The formula for the Electric field strength is;

E = kq/r²

Where k is coulombs constant = 9 × 10^(9) N.m²/C

I) At r = 5cm = 0.05 m;

E = (9 × 10^(9) × 1.1 × 10^(-9))/0.05^(2)

E = 3960 N/C

II) At r = 10 cm = 0.1 m

E = (9 × 10^(9) × 8.875 × 10^(-9))/0.1^(2)

E = 7987.5 N/C

III) At r = 20 cm = 0.2 m

E = (9 × 10^(9) × 71 × 10^(-9))/0.2^(2)

E = 15976 N/C

Answer from: jazzclark79

Part a)

$\rho = 2.12\mu C/m^3$

Part b)

q_1 = 1.11 nC

q_2 = 8.88 nC

q_3 = 71 nC

Part c)

E_1 = 3996 N/C

E_2 = 7992 N/C

E_3 = 15975 N/C

Explanation:

Part a)

As we know that charge density is the ratio of total charge and total volume

So here the volume of the charge ball is given as

$V = \frac{4}{3}\pi R^3$

$V = \frac{4}{3}\pi(0.20)^3$

V = 0.0335 m^3

now the charge density of the ball is given as

$\rho = \frac{71 nC}{0.0335} = 2.12\mu C/m^3$

Part b)

Now the charge enclosed by the surface is given as

$q = \rho V$

at radius of 5 cm

$q = (2.12 \mu C/m^3)(\frac{4}{3}\pi(0.05)^3$

q = 1.11 nC

at radius of 10 cm

$q = (2.12 \mu C/m^3)(\frac{4}{3}\pi(0.10)^3$

q = 8.88 nC

at radius of 20 cm

q = 71 nC

Part c)

As we know that electric field is given as

$E = \frac{kq}{r^2}$

so we have electric field at r = 5 cm

$E_1 = \frac{(9\times 10^9)(1.11 nC)}{0.05^2}$

E_1 = 3996 N/C

electric field at r = 10 cm

$E_2 = \frac{(9\times 10^9)(8.88 nC)}{0.10^2}$

E_2 = 7992 N/C

electric field at r = 20 cm

$E_3 = \frac{(9\times 10^9)(71 nC)}{0.20^2}$

E_3 = 15975 N/C
