Electric Field of a Point Charge
 

Electric Field of a Point Charge problem 3


A charged metal sphere is isolated in space. Measurements of the electric potential are made for different distances from the centre of the sphere. The variation with distance of the potential is shown in the graph below.




Use the graph above to determine the electric field strength, in , at a point where . Explain your working.
