Question
An isolated conducting sphere has a 10 cm radius. One wire carries a current of 1.000 002 0 A into it. Another wire carries a current of 1.000 000 0 A out of it. How long would it take for the sphere to increase in potential by 1000 V?

Answer:
t = 5.56 ms
Explanation:
Given:-
– The current carried in, Iin = 1.000002 C
– The current carried out, Iout = 1.00000 C
– The radius of sphere, r = 10 cm
Find:-
How long would it take for the sphere to increase in potential by 1000 V?
Solution:-
– The net charge held by the isolated conducting sphere after (t) seconds would be:
qnet = (Iin – Iout)*t
qnet = t*(1.000002 – 1.00000) = 0.000002*t
– The Volt potential on the surface of the conducting sphere according to Coulomb’s Law derived result is given by:
V = k*qnet / r
Where, k = 8.99*10^9 ….. Coulomb’s constant
qnet = V*r / k
t = 1000*0.1 / (8.99*10^9 * 0.000002)
t = 5.56 ms
