Two charged concentric spherical shells have radii 10.0 cm and 15.0 cm. The charge on the inner shell is $10.00 \times 10^{-6} C$, and that on the outer shell is $4.00 \times 10^{-6} C$. Find the electric field at $r = 12.0$ cm.

Step 1
The electric field due to a charged spherical shell is given by the equation: E = k * Q / r^2 where E is the electric field, k is the electrostatic constant (9.0 x 10^9 N m^2/C^2), Q is the charge on the shell, and r is the distance from the center of the Show more…

Two charged concentric spherical shells have radii $10.0 \mathrm{~cm}$ and $15.0 \mathrm{~cm}$. The charge on the inner shell is $\times 10^{-8} \mathrm{C}$, and that on the outer shell is $6.33 \times 10^{-8} \mathrm{C}$. Find the electric field (a) at $r=12.0 \mathrm{~cm}$ and (b) at $r=20.0 \mathrm{~cm}$.
