A total charge of 6.3×10−8 C is distributed uniformly throughout a 2.7-cm radius sphere. The

volume charge density is:

Respuesta :

The density is 3.7 x 10-7 C/ m3

Answer:

The volume charge density of the sphere is [tex]7.64\times 10^{-4}\ C/m^3[/tex].

Explanation:

It is given that,

Charge, [tex]q=6.3\times 10^{-8}\ C[/tex]

Radius of the sphere, r = 2.7 cm = 0.027 m

Total charge contained divided by its volume is called volume charge density. Mathematically, it is given by :

[tex]\rho=\dfrac{Q}{V}[/tex]

[tex]\rho=\dfrac{Q}{4/3\pi r^3}[/tex]

[tex]\rho=\dfrac{6.3\times 10^{-8}}{4/3\pi (0.027)^3}[/tex]

[tex]\rho=7.64\times 10^{-4}\ C/m^3[/tex]

So, the volume charge density of the sphere is [tex]7.64\times 10^{-4}\ C/m^3[/tex]. Hence, this is the required solution.
