Explanation / Answer

radius R = 0.59 m Charge q = 0.3 * 10 ^ -9 C (a). the magnitude of the electric field at a point 0.100 moutside the surface of the sphere E = Kq / ( R + 0.1 )^2 where K = cluomb's constant = 8.99 *10 ^ 9 N m^ 2 / C ^2 plug the values weget E = 5.6647 N / C


(b) the magnitude of the electric field at a point inside thesphere, 0.100 m below the surface = 0 Since electric field inside a metal sphere = 0
