A conducting sphere of radius 1 cm is raised to a potential of 8000 V. What is the energy density of the electric field just outside its surface?
- 64 * 10⁵ J/m³
- 8 * 10³ J/m³
- 32 J/m³
- 2.83 J/m³
Correct answer: 2.83 J/m³
Solution
For a sphere, V = kQ/R and surface field E = kQ/R² = V/R = 8000/0.01 = 8*10⁵ V/m. The electric energy density is u = (1/2)*epsilon0*E² = 0.5 * 8.854*10⁻¹² * (8*10⁵)² = 2.83 J/m³.
