Question #300711

A spherical ball of plasma has a radius of 0.50 m. The electric field on the surface of the ball is measured to be 8.9 x 103 N/C and points radially inward toward the center. What is the value of the electric charge

Expert's answer

The electric field

E=k\frac{q}{r^2}

Hence, the charge of a ball

q=Er^2/k\\ =8.9*10^3*0.50^2/9*10^9=2.5*10^{-7}\:\rm C
