Expert Solution

Step 1

For a conducting sphere , for calculating the electric field at a point outside the sphere , we can assume that charge is placed at the centre of the sphere.

Electric field E = k Q / r²

k is constant , Q is charge and r is seperation between charge and the point where we want to find out the electric field E.
