Answer:
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
