Math Problem Statement
Solution
It seems you've uploaded a physics problem involving electrostatics. The task is to calculate the electric field and energy related to a uniformly distributed charge within a sphere. Let's break down the problem:
Given:
- Charge
- Radius of the sphere
- The permittivity of free space
The problem asks for:
- The distance from the center to point (inside the sphere).
- The distance from the center to point (outside the sphere).
- The electrostatic energy of the charge distribution.
To calculate the distance of and , we use the following principles:
-
Electric Field Inside the Sphere (): For a uniformly charged sphere, the electric field inside the sphere increases linearly with distance from the center. where is the distance from the center to point .
-
Electric Field Outside the Sphere (): For points outside the sphere, the electric field behaves as if all the charge were concentrated at the center. where is the distance from the center to point .
To calculate the electrostatic energy , we use:
Now, would you like to proceed with the calculations for these? If you need further clarification on any part, feel free to ask!
