The electric field at 20 cm from the center of a conducting sphere of radius 2 cm is \( 4.5 \times 10^3 \, \text{N C}^{-1} \). The magnitude of charge on the sphere is:

  1. A \( 2 \times 10^{-9} \, \text{C} \)
  2. B \( 2 \times 10^{-8} \, \text{C} \)
  3. C \( 1 \times 10^{-7} \, \text{C} \)
  4. D \( 2 \times 10^{-7} \, \text{C} \)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \( 2 \times 10^{-8} \, \text{C} \)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( Q = \frac{Er^2}{k} \) \( Q = \frac{(4.5 \times 10^3 \, \text{N C}^{-1})(0.20 \, \text{m})^2}{9 \times 10^9 \, \text{N m}^2 \text{C}^{-2}} \) \( Q = 2 \times 10^{-8} \, \text{C} \)
