Answer:

[tex]2.62898\times 10^{-6}\ C/m^3[/tex]

[tex]1979.99974\ N/C[/tex]

Explanation:

k = Coulomb constant = [tex]8.99\times 10^{9}\ Nm^2/C^2[/tex]

Q = Charge

r = Distance = 8 cm

R = Radius = 4 cm

Electric field is given by

[tex]E=\dfrac{kQ}{r^2}\\\Rightarrow Q=\dfrac{Er^2}{k}\\\Rightarrow E=\dfrac{990\times 0.08^2}{8.99\times 10^{9}}\\\Rightarrow Q=7.04783\times 10^{-10}\ C[/tex]

Volume charge density is given by

[tex]\sigma=\dfrac{Q}{\dfrac{4}{3}\pi R^3}\\\Rightarrow \sigma=\dfrac{7.04783\times 10^{-10}}{\dfrac{4}{3}\pi (0.04)^3}\\\Rightarrow \sigma=2.62898\times 10^{-6}\ C/m^3[/tex]

The volume charge density for the sphere is [tex]2.62898\times 10^{-6}\ C/m^3[/tex]

[tex]E=\dfrac{kQr}{R^3}\\\Rightarrow E=\dfrac{8.99\times 10^9\times 7.04783\times 10^{-10}\times 0.02}{0.04^3}\\\Rightarrow E=1979.99974\ N/C[/tex]

The magnitude of the electric field is [tex]1979.99974\ N/C[/tex]

The volume charge density for the sphere and the magnitude of the electric field  is mathematically given as

a)[tex]\phi=2.683-6[/tex]

b)E=1979.9997N/C

The volume charge density for the sphere and the magnitude of the electric field

Generally the equation for the electric field is mathematically given as

[tex]E=\frac{KQ}{r^2}[/tex]

Therefore

[tex]Q=\frac{Er^2}{k}[/tex]

Q=7.047e-10

Therefore

[tex]\phi=\frac{7.047e-10}{4/3\pi(0.04)^3}\\\\[/tex]

[tex]\phi=2.683-6[/tex]

Hence,The magnitude of the electric field is

[tex]E=\frac{kQr}{R^3}\\\\E=\frac{8.99e9*7.047e-10*0.02}{0.04^3}[/tex]

E=1979.9997N/C
