Question
A solid sphere of radius 40.0 cm has a total positive charge of 16.0 µC uniformly distributed throughout its volume. Calculate the magnitude of the electric field at the following
distances.
(a) 0 cm from the center of the sphere
kN/C
(b) 10.0 cm from the center of the sphere
225
kN/C
(c) 40.0 cm from the center of the sphere
900
V kN/C
(d) 66.5 cm from the center of the sphere
1.11e-6
Would the field at this point be affected if the charge were moved to a point at the origin? kN/C
