For the metal sphere in Problem 68, what is the electric field inside the sphere?
(reference problem 68)
Consider a solid metal sphere of radius R. An excess charge Q is placed on the sphere. (a) How will this excess charge be distributed on the sphere? (b) Make a qualitative sketch of the electric field lines outside the metal sphere. (c) Choose a Gaussian surface that matches the symmetry of the electric field. That is, choose a surface on which the electric field is constant. (d) Apply Gauss’s law to find the electric flux through your Gaussian surface. (e) Solve for the electric field a distance r from the center of the sphere, with
