A metal ball (electrically conductive) with a radius of R = 10cm was placed in a vacuum and charged with a positive charge Q = 20μC. Using Gauss's law, determine the function describing the value of the radial component of the electric field intensity vector depending on the distance from the center of the spherical field for distances greater than or less than the radius of the sphere. Sketch the course of this function describing on the XY axes the characteristic values for the distance equal to the radius of the sphere at the center of the sphere.
