Charge Q = 5.00 μC is distributed uniformly over the volume of an insulating sphere that has radius R = 12.0 cm. A small sphere with charge q = +3.00 nC and mass 6.00 × 10−5 kg is projected toward the center of the large sphere from an initial large distance. The large sphere is held at a fixed position and the small sphere can be treated as a point charge.
