Abstract
The electric field of a 3D spherical uniform charge distribution embodying a spherical mobile void at an exterior point is calculated. The size of the void and its path is arbitrary. Specifically, three different trajectories are analyzed. The movement of the void impacts the electric field so that the field becomes time-dependent. In terms of the chosen path and the size of the bubble, we evaluate the time-dependent electric field. The time profile of the field is calculated. Because of the computational challenges, the most of calculation is carried out utilizing a Computer Algebra System (CAS), specifically Mathematica [1] . This project makes the CAS an essential tool not only for calculating the field but for animating the features of the mobile void. An atlas of the study cases is included.
