Problem

A conducting sphere of radius 0.10 m carries a charge of +6.0 μC. A point charge of +2.0 μC is placed on the same radial line 0.30 m from the center of the sphere (outside the sphere). What are the magnitude and direction of the net electric field at a point 0.20 m from the center along that line? (a) 4.5×105 N/C4.5\times10^{5}\,\text{N/C}, away from the center of the sphere (b) 4.5×105 N/C4.5\times10^{5}\,\text{N/C}, toward the center of the sphere (c) 3.2×106 N/C3.2\times10^{6}\,\text{N/C}, away from the center of the sphere (d) 1.3×106 N/C1.3\times10^{6}\,\text{N/C}, away from the center of the sphere
