A 0.500 cm diameter plastic sphere, used in a static electricity demonstration, has a uniformly distributed 44.0 pC charge on its surface. What is the potential near its surface

Sagot :

Answer:

Explanation:

Radius of sphere R = .250 x 10⁻² m

Potential on the surface V = k Q / R , where Q is charge on the surface ,  R is radius of the surface and k = 9 x 10⁹

Q = 44  x 10⁻¹² C

V = 9 x 10⁹ x 44  x 10⁻¹² /  ( .25 x 10⁻²)

= 1584 x 10⁻¹ Volt .

= 158.4 Volt
