The volume charge density of a sphere of radius 6 m is 2 μC cm-3. The number of lines of force per unit surface area coming out from the surface of the sphere is _____ ×1010 N C-1.

[Given : Permittivity of vacuum ϵ0=8.85×10-12C2 N-1-m-2]

Solution

Given here, ρ=2 μC cm-3 and R=6 m.

Number of lines of force per unit area = electric field at surface=KQR2

E=14πε0ρ43πR3R2 

E=ρR3ϵ0=2×63×8.85×10-12=0.45×1012 N C-1

=45×1010 N C-1
