A nonconducting spherical shell of diameter 8 cm has a charge of 1.00 ? 10-8 C distributed uniformly over its surface. It is placed at the origin of a region of space where the electric field is 80 i hat N/C.
a) What is the net electric field inside the nonconducting sherical shell?
b) What is the net electric field at 50 cm on the positive x axis?
The nonconducting spherical shell is replaced with a thin metal spherical shell of diameter 8 cm and a charge of 1.00 ? 10-8 C on its surface.
c) What is the net electric field inside the metal spherical shell?
d) What is the net electric field at 50 cm on the positive x axis?
e) Make a sketch of the charge distribution on the metal spherical shell.
