A charge of \( Q = 8.0 \times 10^{-9} \text{ C} \) is uniformly distributed on the surface of a spherical shell of radius \( R = 10 \text{ cm} \). The electric field at a distance of 10 cm from the outer surface of the shell is

  1. A \( 7.2 \times 10^3 \text{ N/C} \)
  2. B \( 7.2 \times 10^3 \text{ N/C} \)
  3. C \( 18 \times 10^2 \text{ N/C} \)
  4. D \( 1.8 \times 10^3 \text{ N/C} \)

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \( 1.8 \times 10^3 \text{ N/C} \)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( r = R + d_{surface} = 0.1 \text{ m} + 0.1 \text{ m} = 0.2 \text{ m} \) \( E = \frac{kQ}{r^2} = \frac{(9 \times 10^9 \text{ N m}^2/\text{C}^2)(8.0 \times 10^{-9} \text{ C})}{(0.2 \text{ m})^2} \) \( E = 1.8 \times 10^3 \text{ N/C} \)
