Electric Potential
 

Electric Potential problem 26


  • The variation with radius of the electric field strength due to an isolated charged sphere in a vacuum is shown in the graph below.




    Use data from the graph to:


    • state the radius of the sphere,


    • calculate the charge on the sphere.


  • Using the formula for the electric potential due to an isolated point charge, determine the capacitance of the sphere in (a).
