Physics Question on Electrostatic potential
The volume charge density of a sphere of radius 6 m is 2μC cm-3. The number of lines of force per unit surface area coming out from the surface of the sphere is _______ × 1010 NC-1.
Answer
The number of lines of force per unit surface is nothing but an Electric field at that point
E=ρ3rϵ0, for r=R
E=ρ3Rϵ0=2×36×8.85×10-12=0.45×1012 NC-1
=45×1010 N/C
