The correct answer is: 1440
Given,

Number of electrons n=4×1010  m -3

Diameter of sphere D=20 cm

Radius of sphere r=202=10 cm=0.01 m

According to equation,

Eoutside=q4πε0r2

=ne4πε0r2

Here, r=20×10-2m

=4×1010×1.6×10-19×9×10920×10-22

=4×1.6×920×20×10-4

=4×1.6×9×10420×20

=1.6×9×102

=1.44×103=1440   NC-1
