4×1010electrons are removed from a neutral metal sphere of diameter 20 cm placed in air. The magnitude of the electric field in (N C −1) at a distance of 20 cm from its centre is

Options:

Answer:
D
Solution:

Given,

Number of electronsn=4×1010  m -3

Diameter of sphereD=20 cm

Radius of spherer=202=10 cm=0.01 m

According to equation,

Eoutside=q4πε0r2

=ne4πε0r2

Here,r=20×10-2m

=4×1010×1.6×10-19×9×10920×10-22

=4×1.6×920×20×10-4

=4×1.6×9×10420×20

=1.6×9×102

=1.44×103=1440   NC-1
