How do you calculate Electric field due to an isolated point charge point charge?

yes it can We have Epsilon equals charge by area imagine a photographic enlargement of the charge inside which this point charge exists then you can calculate B(Mag. Field intensity) We have E=Int.(B.dA) Was ur doubt clarified?


What does magnetic field lines denotes?

a line to represent the direction of a region around a magnetic material or a moving electric charge within which the force of magnetism acts.A2. Perhaps better describes as lines of magnetic force. These are lines of equal intensity between the North and South pole of a magnet. They are similarly charged, hence they repel each other. They extend arbitrarily far into space if allowed to, and will eventually form a sphere.These lines of magnetic force are that along which your compass aligns itself at your locale.


What is the electric field half way to the centre of a conducting sphere charged to a potential of 15v?

electric field inside the conducting sphere is ZER0..! because their are equivalent charges all around the sphere which makes the net force zero hence we can say that the electric field is also zero.!


How a magnetic field is created and how its strength is affected?

Through a current in a conductor; it is strengthened once by making a coil of the conductor and then by inserting an easily magnetized core inside the coil


Why is it essential to earth electrical appliances having metallic body?

if the appliance shorts out (if one or more of the wires inside it come into contact with the outer casing) the electricity will take the shortest route to be neutralised. If there is no earth wire and you touch the shorted out appliance then the shortest route to neutralise the electric charge is through you, and you will be electrocuted. If an earth wire is present then the shortest route to neutralise the current will be through this wire, so you would not be electrocuted if you touched the shorted out appliance.

Do electric fields point outward or inward?

We define the "direction"of an electric field to be the direction of the force it exerts on a positive test charge placed in the field. So if there is some charge inside a shell, the field outside the shell points outward if the charge inside is positive, and inward if the charge inside is negative.

What is the electric field outside a charged spherical shell?

The electric field outside the shell is the same as it would be if all the charge of the shell was concentrated as a point charge in the centre of the shell.


Which thing always remains constant inside a conducting sphere?

An electric charge cannot be established or maintained inside a conductive container. This is the basis of the Faraday Cage, used to isolate a working space from electric fields.


What type of electric charge does a electron have?

They are negatively charged particles. electrons are found inside an atom, outside its nucleus.


Why do atoms have no electric charge even though most of the particles inside the atoms have charges?

Because the positive charge of the protons in the nucleus is exactly canceled by the negative charge of the electrons in the orbitals around it.


What are three facts about electric field lines?

1. Electric field lines of force originate from the positive charge and terminate at the negative charge. 2. Electric field lines of force can never intersect each other. 3. Electric field lines of force are not present inside the conductor, it is because electric field inside the conductor is always zero. 4. Electric field lines of force are always perpendicular to the surface of conductor. 5. Curved electric field lines are always non-uniform in nature.


What is an electron composed of?

An electron is an elementary particle; it does not have any simpler particles inside it. It is composed of mass, electric charge, and spin.


What is the electric field on the surface of the conductor?

The field is zero inside only if any charge is evenly distributed on the surface. That's a mathematical theorem, sorry I don't have the proof handy. But when you measure the electric field inside a charged sphere, the charge you use might be large enough to redistribute the surface charge. In this case the electric field will not be zero. Only if you measure at the centre.


What is the relationship between electronic signals inside a computer and binary digits?

Electronic signals are represented in binary as 1's and 0's. A 1 is representative of an electric charge being active and a 0 is representataive of an electric charge being absent.


Mentoin two special properties for uniformly charged spherical shell?

From Gauss's Law, Electric Field inside is 0, and it's electric flux is equal to Qenclosed/Eo, where Eo is the electric vacuum permittivity constant. Also, outside of the sphere, it could be treated as a point charge, where the point lies at the center of the shell and has a charge equal to the total charge of the shell.
