Calculation of Electric Field Intensity
• To calculate the electric field intensity just beyond the surface of the sphere, we can treat the entire charge as concentrated at the center of the sphere.
• The formula for electric field intensity due to a point charge is E = k * Q / r^2, where k is the electrostatic constant, Q is the charge, and r is the distance from the charge.
• In this case, the charge Q = 1.5×10^6 C and r = radius of the sphere = 12 cm.
• The electrostatic constant k = 9 x 10^9 Nm^2/C^2.
• Substituting the values into the formula, we get E = (9 x 10^9) * (1.5 x 10^6) / (0.12)^2 = 1.125 x 10^16 / 0.0144 = 7.8125 x 10^17 N/C.
Electric Field Intensity at a Distance of 18 cm
• To calculate the electric field intensity at a distance of 18 cm from the center of the sphere, we need to consider the charge distribution on the surface of the sphere.
• We can use the formula for electric field intensity due to a charged sphere at a point outside the sphere, which is E = k * Q * r / R^3, where R is the radius of the sphere.
• In this case, Q = 1.5×10^6 C, r = 18 cm, and R = 12 cm.
• Substituting the values into the formula, we get E = (9 x 10^9) * (1.5 x 10^6) * (0.18) / (0.12)^3 = 2.43 x 10^16 / 0.1728 = 1.40625 x 10^17 N/C.
In conclusion, the electric field intensity just beyond the surface of the sphere is 7.8125 x 10^17 N/C, and at a distance of 18 cm from the center of the sphere, the electric field intensity is 1.40625 x 10^17 N/C.
