(d) 1.28×104N/C

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: 12. (a)

Solution:

  1. (a) If the charge on a spherical conductor of radius R is Q, then electric field at distance r from centre is

E=0( if rR)E=14πϵ0Qr2( if rR)

Electric field at a distance 15cm from the centre of sphere will be

E=9×109×3.2×107225×104=0.128×106=1.28×105N/C
