Question

The radius of a hypothetical nucleus (atomic number=79) is about 7×1015 m. Assuming that charge distribution is uniform, the electric field at the surface of the nucleus is :
  1. 2.9×1021
  2. 2.32×1021
  3. 4.64×1021
  4. 0

A
2.32×1021
B
2.9×1021
C
0
D
4.64×1021
Solution
Verified by Toppr

The expression of electric field at surface of sphere of radius a is given by, E=kqa2
Here, charge q=79e=79×(1.6×1019) and a=7×1015

So, E=(9×109)×(79×1.6×1019)(7×1015)2=2.32×1021N/C

Q3
The radius of a gold nucleus (Z = 79) is about 7·0×10-10 m. Assume that the positive charge is distributed uniformly throughout the nuclear volume. Find the strength of the electric field at (a) the surface of the nucleus and (b) at the middle point of a radius. Remembering that gold is a conductor, is it justified to assume that the positive charge is uniformly distributed over the entire volume of the nucleus and does not come to the outer surface?
