Practice question
Question
A thin spherical shell of radius 25 cm has a charge of 15 μC . What is the electric field at a point 30 cm from the nter?
Explanation
Given:
A thin spherical shell of radius 25 cm has a charge of 15 μC . What is the electric field at a point 30 cm from the nter?
These values define the system as per NCERT data.
Formula:
Outside shell ( r > R ): E = k q/r².
This is the standard NCERT relation for this phenomenon.
Substitution & Calculation:
k = 9 × 10â¹ Nm²/C², q = 15 × 10â»â¶ C, r = 0.3 m . E = 9 × 10⹠× frac15 × 10â»â¶(0.3)² = 9 × 10⹠× frac15 × 10â»â¶â°.09 = 1.5 × 10â¶ N/C .
Result:
The computed value matches the expected outcome and confirms the correct choice. Units and powers like J kgâ»Â¹ Kâ»Â¹, m/s², 10â»âµ are properly used as per NCERT.
