Find the surface charge density on the shell


a) Sketch the electric field in the interior and the exterior of a spherical metal shell 6 cm in radius if the shell has a net charge of +10-8 Coulombs on its surface.

b) What is the electric field at r=0?

c) Find the surface charge density on the shell.

d) What is the electric field strength at the surface r = 6 cm?

e) What is the voltage at the surface of the sphere? Assume the potential goes to zero at infinity.

f) What is the voltage at the origin, r=0? How does it compare to the voltage at the surface r=6 cm? Justify your answer.
