A cylindrical shell of length 220 m and radius 4 cm carries a uniform surface charge density of σ = 14 nC/m^2.
1. What is the total charge on the shell?

Respuesta :

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Length of shell [tex]L=220\ m[/tex]

radius of cylindrical shell [tex]r=4\ cm[/tex]

surface charge density [tex]\sigma =14\ nC/m^2[/tex]

Total charge on the shell [tex]Q=surface\ area\times surface\ charge\ density[/tex]

surface area [tex]A=2\pi r\cdot L=2\pi \cdot 0.04\cdot 220=55.299\ m^2[/tex]

[tex]Q=\sigma \cdor A[/tex]

[tex]Q=14\times 10^{-9}\times 55.299[/tex]

[tex]Q=7.741\times 10^{-7}\ C[/tex]
