    The electric field in a region is radially outward with magnitude E = Ar. What will be the charge contained in a sphere of radius a centred at the origin? Take \[A=100V{{m}^{-2}}\] and a = 20.0 cm.

    A) \[8.89\times {{10}^{-11}}C\]    

    B) \[4.47\times {{10}^{-11}}C\]

    C) \[8.89\times {{10}^{-9}}C\]     

    D) \[4.47\times {{10}^{-9}}C\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    [a] : The electric field at the surface of the sphere is Aa and being radial it is along the outward normal. The flux of the electric field is, therefore, \[\Phi =\oint{EdS\cos {{0}^{o}}}=Aa(4\pi {{a}^{2}})\]. From Gauss?s law, the charge contained in the sphere is \[{{Q}_{inside}}={{\varepsilon }_{0}}\Phi =4\pi {{\varepsilon }_{0}}A{{a}^{3}}\] \[=\frac{1}{9\times {{10}^{9}}}\times 100V\,{{m}^{-2}}\times {{(0.20)}^{3}}\] \[=8.89\times {{10}^{-11}}C\]
