What is the voltage 5.00 cm away from the center of a 1-cm-diameter solid metal sphere that has a –3.00-nC static charge?
Added by Chris L.
Step 1
It is given by: V = kQ/r where: - V is the electric potential (voltage), - k is Coulomb's constant (approximately 8.99 x 10^9 N m^2/C^2), - Q is the charge, and - r is the distance from the charge. Show more…

Charges in static electricity are typically in the nanocoulomb (nC) to microcoulomb (μC) range. What is the voltage 5.00 cm away from the center of a 1-cm diameter metal sphere that has a -3.00 nC static charge?

A solid metal sphere of radius 3.00 m carries a total charge of -3.50 μC. What is the magnitude of the electric field at a distance from the sphere's center of: 0.300 m, 2.90 m, 3.15 m, and 6.00 m.

What is the voltage at 5.00 cm from the center of a 1 cm diameter metal sphere that has a static charge of -3.00 nC? Remember that in a conducting sphere, the electric charge is uniformly distributed on the surface. Therefore, it produces an electric field that is also uniform. Then, the situation could be thought of as if the charge and the electric field were produced by a point charge. a. -1.5x10^-11 V b. -539 V c. 6x10^-8 V
