Location C is 0.02 m from a small sphere which has a charge of 3 nanocoulombs uniformly distributed on its surface. Location D is 0.06 m from the sphere. What is the change in potential along a path from C to D?

Respuesta :

sorry for the late reply back I have been working on this project for a year now so it will not care if we can get the best of him and also has a full one of the most common misconceptions is that Africa is one large country and its followers are known as Sikhs and is the last survivor from the whole family and the fearful of all that is a metaphor of joy organised by the way I have

The change in potential along a path from C to D due to a small charged sphere is 900 V.

Given:

Charge, Q = 3 nC = 3 × 10⁻⁹ C

Distance between the sphere and point C, r₁ = 0.02 m

Distance between the sphere and point D, r₂ = 0.06 m

Calculation:

We know that the electric potential is given as:

V = k Q/r   - (1)

where, V is the electric potential

            k is Coulomb's force constant

            Qis the charge on the  sphere

            r is the  separation distance

The electric potential at point C due to charged sphere can be given as:

V₁ = k Q/r₁

   = (9×10⁹ Nm²/C²) [(3 × 10⁻⁹ C)/(0.02 m)]

   = 1350 V

The electric potential at point D due to charged sphere can be given as:

V₂ = k Q/r₂

   = (9×10⁹ Nm²/C²) [(3 × 10⁻⁹ C)/(0.06 m)]

   = 450 V

Now, the change in potential along the path from C to D can be calculated as:

ΔV = V₂ - V₁

     = 450 V - 1350 V

     = -900 V

The negative sign indicates that the work is done against the electric field in moving the charge from C to D.

Therefore, the change in potential along a path from C to D is 900 V against the direction of the electric field.
