A spherical capacitor consists of two concentric spheres with the inner sphere of radius aand the outer sphere of radius b. The total charge on the inner sphere is Q C whereasthe outer sphere similarly supports a charge of −Q C. For both spheres, the charge isuniformly distributed.

The electricfield between the plates is directed downward and has magnitudeE = 800 N/C. Assume that the field is zero outside the region betweenthe plates. The separation between the plates is large enough for theobject to pass between the plates without hitting the lower plate.
