in the interior of the cell is a good conductor. If a cell has a net
charge of -7.52 pC,

the net flux through the cell boundary?
b. what is the volume charge density passing through the cell?
Assume that the portion of the cell in question is spherical
with radius r 1.2 × 10¯6m.
The electric flux through a spherical Gaussian surface of radius r=20.0cm, with a uniformly charged, spherical conducting shell at its center, is ΦE =−2.30 × 104 N·m2/C. T
c. How many excess electrons or protons does this sphere contain?
d. f the conductor has a radius of R = 10.0 cm, what is its surface charge density?

This problem is spherically symmetric, which makes it an ideal candidate for a Gauss's law analysis. A hollow conductor carries a net charge of +7 nC. In its cavity, insulated from the conductor, is a small, isolated sphere with a net charge of -5 nC. How much charge is on the outer surface of the hollow conductor? How much is on the inner surface of the cavity? Figure Net charge = +7 nC +5 nC on cavity wall Gaussian surface +2 nC on outer surface 1 of 1 SOLUTION SET UP (Figure 1) shows our sketch. We know that in this electrostatic situation the electric field in the conducting material must be zero. We draw a Gaussian surface within the material of the conductor and apply Gauss's law. SOLVE We apply Gauss's law PE = Qencl/€o to the Gaussian surface shown in (Figure 1). The Gaussian surface lies within the conducting material, so E = 0 everywhere on that surface. By Gauss's law, E = Qencl/€0.…arrow_forward
