Question

A total electric charge of 3.5nC is distributed uniformly over the surface of a metal sphere with a radius of 24cm.

A total electric charge of 3.5nC is distributed uniformly over the surface of a metal sphere with a radius of 24cm. If the potential is zero at a point at infinity, find the value of the parental at the distances 48cm, 24cm, 12cm.

Answer #1

1]

Given:-

q=3.5nC

R=0.24m

when r= 0.48 m [ r> R]

V= 9* 109*3.5*10-9/.48= 65.63V

when r= 0.24 m [ r= R]

V= 9* 109*3.5*10-9/.24= 131.25V

when r= 0.12 m [ r< R]

V= 9* 109*3.5*10-9[1/0.24 +1/0.243[0.242-0.122/2]= 31.5[ 4.17+1.563]= 180.57 V

2]

For the surface of sphere ,V = kq/R [ where R is the radius of the sphere ]

work done, w= qv= kq2/R

work done per unit charge by the electric force in moving a unit of charge from infinity to the surface of the sphere is  kq2/R.
