You have constructed an arrangement with a nonconducting sphere of radius R inside a thin conducting spherical shell. You have managed to distribute a uniform charge density p inside the nonconducting sphere. Find the electrostatic field inside the nonconducting sphere and outside of the arrangement of sphere and shell. What is the surface charge density on the inner surface of the conducting shell?
A sphere of radius R,-0325 m and uniform charge density 645 3 lies at the center of a neutral, spherical, conducting shell of inner and outer radii R2- 0.533 m and Ro-0.815 m, respectively. Find the surface charge density on: The inner surface of the shell Number The outer surface of the shell Number pC/m2 R.
In the figure the sphere of radius R is solid and non-conductive and has a uniform charge volumetric distribution p0. A spherical shell with inner radius 2R and outer radius 3R is concentric with the sphere and unloaded.

A small solid sphere of mass M0, of radius R0, and of uniform density ρ0 is placed in a large bowl containing water. It floats and the level of the water in the dish is L. Given the information below, determine the possible effects on the water level L, (R-Rises, F-Falls, U-Unchanged, R or U, F or U, R or F or U), when that sphere is replaced by a new solid sphere of uniform density. The new sphere has...
