A metal sphere of radius 10 cm carries a charge of 2.0 MicroCoulomb. What is the magnitude of the electric field 5.0 cm from the sphere's surface?

E = 7200 J = 7.2 KJ

Explanation:

The electric field due to a sphere is similar to the electric field due to a point charge. It is calculated by the use of the following formula:

where,

E = Electric Field = ?

k = Coulomb Constant = 9 x 10⁹ Nm²/C²

q = charge on sphere = 2 μC = 2 x 10⁻⁶ C

r = distance from the center of the sphere to the location = 5 cm = 0.05 m

Therefore,

E = 7200 J = 7.2 KJ

note: the given question is incomplete.

complete question is given below.

which is an example of kinetic energy?

a. the energy stored in ethanol  

b. a hockey puck sliding across the ice  

c. a compressed spring  

d. a ball sitting at the top of a ramp

solution: the kinetic energy is the energy posses by the virtue of the motion of the object.

in the given options, a, c and d are the example of potential energy because it is the energy posses by the virtue of the rest of the object. but option b has the kinetic energy as the object is in motion.

hence, a hockey puck sliding across the ice   is the apex example of kinetic energy.

so, the option (b) a hockey puck sliding across the ice   is the correct option.
