A spherical lubber balloon carries a total charge Q distributed uniformly over its surface. At r=0 , the radius of the balloon is R. The balloon is then slowly inflated until its radius reaches 2R at the time t0 . Determine the electric field due to this charge as a function of time (a) at the surface of the balloon, (b) at the surface of radius R, and (c) at the surface of radius 2R. Ignore any effect on the electric field due to the material of the balloon and assume that the radius increases uniformly with time.
