Question

Consider the following arrangement of two conducting hollow spheres with a point charge of Q0 = 3.70 μC at the center. The inner sphere has a radius of 0.011 m and carries a net charge of Q1= -2.90 μC. The outer sphere has a radius of 0.061m and carries a net charge of Q2 = 5.70 μC. 

8a. Calculate the magnitude of the electric field at point A located at a distance 0.021 m from the center.

8b. Calculate the surface charge density on the outer surface of the outer sphere. Neglect the thickness of the sphere.

Expert Solution
Step 1

Given :

charge on inner sphere, Q1=-2.90 μC

charge on outer sphere, Q2=5.70 μC

Q0=3.70 μC

radius of inner sphere, R1=0.011 m

radius of outer sphere, R2=0.061 m

 

Determine :

8.a   the magnitude of the electric field at the point A, r=0.021 m from the center.

8.b   surface charge density on the outer surface of the outer sphere
