Question

A small charged conducting sphere with q = -25.0 x 10-12C and radius 5 mm is placed at the centre of a spherical conducting shell of inner radius 5.00 cm and outer radius 6.00 cm


A small charged conducting sphere with q = -25.0 x 10-12C and radius 5 mm is placed at the centre of a spherical conducting shell of inner radius 5.00 cm and outer radius 6.00 cm. The spherical shell has zero net charge. 

(a) What is the electric field between the inner and outer surfaces of the spherical shell? 

(b) What is the surface charge density on the inner surface of the shell? 

(c) What is the surface charge density on the outer surface of the shell? 

(d) What is the surface charge density of the small inner sphere?

Answer #1

In this problem we will solved by using Gauss law.

for answer (a), according to Gauss law we will find out the electric field between inner and outer surfaces of the spherical shell is zero.

for answer (b),answer(c),and answer (d) we can solve by using formula as shown below.
