Electrostatics Question 351

Question: The number of electrons to be put on a spherical conductor of radius0.1m to produce an electric field of 0.036N/C just above its surface is [MNR 1994; KCET (Engg.) 1999; MH CET (Med.) 2001]

Options:

A) 2.7×105

B) 2.6×105

C) 2.5×105

D) 2.4×105

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: C

Solution:

E=14πε0.ner2

therefore n=Er2e.4πε0

therefore n=0.036×0.1×0.19×109×1.6×1019=360144×105 = 2.5x 105 N/C.
