An aluminum spherical ball of radius 4.5 cm has a charge of 4.5 µC. A copper spherical shell, concentric
with the aluminum ball, has an inner radius of 6.25 cm, an outer radius of 8.5 cm, and a total charge of
-11 µC. Because the only non-zero component of the electric field is radially directed, the electric field
may be expressed as $$E = E\hat{r}$$.
