- The electric field 10.0 cm from the surface of a copper ball of radius 5.0 cm is directed toward the ball's center and has magnitude 4.0102 N/C. How much charge is on the surface of the ball?arrow_forwardConsider a thin, spherical shell of radius 14.0 cm with a total charge of 32.0 C distributed uniformly on its surface. Find the electric field (a) 10.0 cm and (b) 20.0 cm from the center of the charge distribution.arrow_forwardA long, straight wire is surrounded by a hollow metal cylinder whose axis coincides with that of the wire. The wire has a charge per unit length of , and the cylinder has a net charge per unit length of 2. From this information, use Gausss law to find (a) the charge per unit length on the inner surface of the cylinder, (b) the charge per unit length on the outer surface of the cylinder, and (c) the electric field outside the cylinder a distance r from the axis.arrow_forward
