The electric field in aregion is radiall...

The electric field in aregion is radially ourward with magnitude `E=Ar`. Find the charge contained in a sphere of radius a centred at the origin. Take `A=100 V m^(-2)` and `a=20.0 cm`.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The electric field at the surface of the sphere is Aa and being radial it is along the outward normal. The flux of the electric field is. Therefore,
` Phi=oint E dS costheta=Aa*4pia^2)`.
The charge contained in the sphere is, from Gauss's law,
`Q_inside= epsilon_0 phi=4piepsilon_0 Aa^2`
`= {1/9 xxx 10^9 C^2 N^(-1) m^(-2) (100 V m^(-2) (0.20m)^3`
`=8.89 xx 10^(-11) C.
