A thin nonconducting spherical shell of radius 6 cm carries a uniform surface charge density σ = 13 nC/m2. 1) What is the total charge on the shell? Find the electric field at the following radii: 2) r = 2.2 cm 3) r = 5.9 cm 4) r = 6.1 cm 5) r = 17 cm

Step 1
Given: Surface charge density, σ = 13 nC/m^2 Radius, r = 6 cm = 0.06 m Total charge = σ * 4πr^2 Total charge = 13 * 10^-9 C/m^2 * 4π(0.06)^2 Total charge = 0.59 * 10^-9 C Show more…
