A conducting sphere of radius 10 cm has an unknown charge if the electric field 20 cm from the centre of the sphere is `1.5 xx10^(3) ` N/C and points radialy inward what is the net charge on the sphere

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

(a) `-10^(3) N m^(2)//C` because the charge enclosed is the same in the two cases
(b) -8.8 nc
