Question

A spherical conductor of 10cm radius having 10uc charge find out the intensity at 9cm from its center

Answer 1

A spherical conductor of 10cm radius having 10uc charge, the intensity at 9cm from its center is zero

• Given,
• the radius of the spherical conductor, r = 10 cm
• the charge is uniformly distributed over the conductor, q = 10 × 10^-6 C
• since the given distance is less than the radius of a spherical conductor,
• the electrical field inside a spherical conductor is zero.
• E = F/q = 0/10 × 10^-6 = 0.
• Therefore, the intensity of a spherical conductor at 9 cm from its centre is 0.
