A solid insulating plastic sphere of radius a carries atotal net positive charge 3Q uniformly distributed throughout its interior.The insulating sphere is coated with a metallic layer of inner radius a andouter radius 2a. The conducting metallic layer carries a net charge of -2Q.
Apply Gauss’s law to find the magnitude of the electric field in the region r < a. Inthe figure, draw the Gaussian surface you are using, and indicate on that surface the direction of anyvectors which appear in the mathematical expression of Gauss’s law. Express your answer in terms ofa, Q, r, and ε0. (If you get an expression involving ρ, substitute it from above to re-express youranswer in terms of the stated variables.)
What is the electric field at any point outside the shell of radius R where a positive charge Q is placed on it? (Take r to be the radius of the Gaussian sphere)
