Question

Suppose the conducting spherical shell in the figure below carries a charge of 4.00 nC and that a charge of ?2.40 nC is at the center of the sphere. If a = 1.80 m and b = 2.40 m, find the electric field at the following.

(a)    r = 1.50 m

(b)    r = 2.20 m

(c)    r = 2.50 m

(d) What is the charge distribution on the sphere?

Explanation / Answer

k= 1/(4??) = 9*10^9
E = k*q/r^2
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
a) k*(-2.4*10^-9)/(1.5^2) = -9.6 N/C
b) k*((3.2-2.3)*10^-9)/(2.2^2) = 1.673 N/C
c) k*(3.2^-9)/(2.5^2) = 4.0927 N/C
d)inner surface = (2.4*10^-9)/(?*1.8^2) = 2.357*10^-10
outer surface = (4*10^-9)/(?*2.4^2) =2.21*10^-10
