A solid metal sphere of radius 3.00 m carries a total charge of -5.50 µC. What is the magnitude of the electric field at each of the following distances from the sphere's center? (c) 3.10 m (d) 8.00 m Why are the answers in c and d not negative, even though the charge on the sphere is negative?

A 0.500 cm diameter sphere, used in a static electricity demonstration, has a uniformly distributed 40.0 pC charge on its surface. What is the potential near its surface? (Remember that distance must be in meters and charge must be in C before finding the potential.)
