An insulating sphere is 8.00cm in diameter and carries a 5.58uC charge uniformly distributed throughout its interior volume. Calculate the charge enclosed by a concentric spherical surface with radius r = 1.62cm. 3.71

Solutions

Expert Solution

(a) radius of insulating sphere, R = 4 cm

     the charge of insulating sphere, Q = 5.58*10^{-6} C

    the charge enclosed in a sphere of radius(r) 1.62 cm is

                                                                       

(b)   since given charge is enclosed in interior volume of an insulating sphere of radius 4 cm.

       As a result the charge enclosed in a concentric sphere of radius 6.35 cm is 0 C (= zero)

       Because no charge can pass through insulating medium.
