Homework Statement
A spherically symmetric charge distribution produces the electric field [tex]E = (5000r^2) N/C[/tex], where r is in m.
a) What is the electric field strength at r = 20cm?
b) What is the electric flux through a 40cm diameter spherical surface that is concentric with the charge distribution?
c) How much charge is inside this 40cm diameter spherical surface?
Homework Equations
[tex]E = (5000r^2) N/C[/tex]
The Attempt at a Solution
I am not sure if I did this right?
a)
[tex]E = (5000r^2) N/C[/tex]
[tex]E = (5000(0.2m)^2) N/C[/tex]
= [tex]200 Nm^2/C[/tex]
b)
40cm = diameter
20cm = radius
[tex]E = (5000(0.2m)^2) N/C[/tex]
= [tex]200 Nm^2/C[/tex]
c)
[tex]\phi_{e}=\frac{q}{\epsilon_0}[/tex]
[tex]q=(\phi_{e})(\epsilon_0)[/tex]
[tex]q=(200 Nm^2/C)(8.85x10^{-12} C^2/Nm^2)[/tex]
[tex]= 1x10^{-9} C[/tex]
