Problem
A solid, isolated conducting sphere of radius 0.10m carries a net charge of +8.0μC.
(a) Calculate the magnitude of the electric field at a point located 0.050m from the center of the sphere.
(b) Calculate the magnitude of the electric field at a point on the surface of the sphere.
(c) Calculate the magnitude of the electric field at a point located 0.30m from the center of the sphere.
(d) A +2.0nC test charge is placed at the location described in part (c). Determine the magnitude of the electric force exerted on the test charge by the sphere and state its direction relative to the sphere.
