A solid conducting sphere of radius 5.00 cm carries a net charge. To find the value of the charge, you measure the potential difference VAB = VA – VB between point A, which is 8.00 cm from the center of the sphere, and point B, which is a distance r from the center of the sphere. You repeat these measurements for several values of r 8 cm When 8 cm When
