It is known that the Earth has a net negative charge on the surface owing to which the voltage decreases with the altitude by about 100V/m. Assuming the charge is distributed uniformly across a perfectly spherical surface, work out the amount of charge per m2 and the number of electrons per m2 of surface. Hint: Set up the voltage difference between a point located h=1m above the surface and considering that h << R , use a Taylor series expansion on the given voltage function.

The earth has a net negative charge of about -4.3 x 105 C. Since this charge is distributed more or less uniformly over the spherical earth, the force due to this charge is the same as if it were all placed at the Earth's center. A 6.0 kg satellite is orbiting with an orbital radius of 55000 km. If the satellite were also charged, then there would be an electric force in addition to the gravitational force a. What charge...
