Question
A solid insulating sphere of radius a = 5.1 cm
is fixed at the origin of a co-ordinate system
as shown. The sphere is uniformly charged
with a charge density p = -224 µC/m³.
Concentric with the sphere is an uncharged
spherical conducting shell of inner radius b =
13.3 cm, and outer radius c = 15.3 cm.
P(40)
1) What is Ex(P), the x-component of the electric field at point P, located a distance d
= 34 cm from the origin along the x-axis as shown?
