Important Reading Problem - An insulated charged sphere has a radius of (R1=5 cm) and a total charge
(Q1=4 pC). Concentric with this sphere, there is a hollow conducting charged sphere with internal and external radius (R2=7 cm, R3=9 cm) and has a charge (Q2=3 pC). Find the electric field intensity and the electric potential at points (1, 2, 3 and 4) if (r1=10, r2=8, r3=6 and r4=3 cm).
Answer
First we will find the electric field intensity in different regions:
For point (4), rR1: Take gauss surface as sphere with radius r so that:
Q occupies a volume of (
Q1(4 pC) occupies a volume (
So
So
rR1
For point (3), R1 r R2: Take gauss surface as sphere so that:
Since the total charge inside Gauss surface equals to (Q1= 4 pC). Here we have
For point (2), R2 r R3:
Q2=3 pC
-4 pC
7 pC
2 3 4
R1 R2
R3
1 A B
C
Q1=4 pC
E = 0 R2 r R3 Because this region is inside the hollow conducting sphere and the field is zero.
For point (1), r R3: The total charge inside Gauss surface is the total charge of the two spheres, it equals (7 pC) so:
and
To get the electric potential at point (1)
Point (A) can be considered outside the hollow sphere so
Points (A,2 and B) all can be considered inside the hollow conducting sphere, for this reason they have the same potential
To get V3
We can consider point (C) outside the solid insulating sphere so that Vc can be obtained from V3 by substituting for r with (R1)
To get V4
so that
E at point (1) = 6.3 N/C E at point (2) = 0 E at point (3) = 10 N/C E at point (4) = 8.64 N/C V at point (1) = 0.63 volt V at point (2) = 0.7 volt V at point (3) = 0.79 volt V at point (4) = 1.14 volt
