Question Number 39794 by NECx last updated on 11/Jul/18

Two charged concentric spheres  have radii of 10cm and 18cm.The  charge on the inner sphere is  6.0×10^(−8) C and that on the outer  sphere is 2.0×10^(−8) C.Find the  electric field (i)at r=12cm and  (ii)at r=25cm

i)E.4Πr^2 =(q/ε_0 )   r=12×10^(−2)   and q=6.0×10^(−8) C  E=9×10^9 ×((6.0×10^(−8) )/((12×10^(−2) )^2 ))=0.375×10^5   ii)E=9×10^9 ×((8×10^(−8) )/((25×10^(−2) )^2 ))=0.1152×10^5   pls check

$$\left.{i}\right){E}.\mathrm{4}\Pi{r}^{\mathrm{2}} =\frac{{q}}{\epsilon_{\mathrm{0}} }\:\:\:{r}=\mathrm{12}×\mathrm{10}^{−\mathrm{2}} \:\:{and}\:{q}=\mathrm{6}.\mathrm{0}×\mathrm{10}^{−\mathrm{8}} {C} \\ $$$${E}=\mathrm{9}×\mathrm{10}^{\mathrm{9}} ×\frac{\mathrm{6}.\mathrm{0}×\mathrm{10}^{−\mathrm{8}} }{\left(\mathrm{12}×\mathrm{10}^{−\mathrm{2}} \right)^{\mathrm{2}} }=\mathrm{0}.\mathrm{375}×\mathrm{10}^{\mathrm{5}} \\ $$$$\left.{ii}\right){E}=\mathrm{9}×\mathrm{10}^{\mathrm{9}} ×\frac{\mathrm{8}×\mathrm{10}^{−\mathrm{8}} }{\left(\mathrm{25}×\mathrm{10}^{−\mathrm{2}} \right)^{\mathrm{2}} }=\mathrm{0}.\mathrm{1152}×\mathrm{10}^{\mathrm{5}} \\ $$$${pls}\:{check} \\ $$
