NEET · Physics · STD 12 - 1. Electric charges and fields

A spherical conductor of radius \(10\, cm\) has a charge of \(3.2 \times 10^{-7} \,C\) distributed uniformly. What is the magnitude of electric field at a point \(15 \,cm\) from the centre of the sphere? \(\left(\frac{1}{4 \pi \epsilon_{0}}=9 \times 10^{9} Nm ^{2} / C ^{2}\right)\)

  1. A \(1.28 \times 10^{7} N / C\)
  2. B \(1.28 \times 10^{4} N / C\)
  3. C \(1.28 \times 10^{5} N / C\)
  4. D \(1.28 \times 10^{6} N / C\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(1.28 \times 10^{5} N / C\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(E = \frac{1}{4 \pi \epsilon_{0}} \frac{Q}{r^2}\) \(E = (9 \times 10^{9} Nm^2/C^2) \frac{3.2 \times 10^{-7}\,C}{(0.15\,m)^2}\)
