The electric field everywhere on the surface of athin spherical shell of radius

Question

   The electric field everywhere on the surface of athin spherical shell of radius 0.800 mis measured to be equal to 890 N/C andpoints radially toward the center of the sphere. (a) What is the net charge within the sphere'ssurface?
1 nC
(b) What can you conclude about the nature and distribution of thecharge inside the spherical shell? The charge is negative and has a lineardistribution. Thecharge is negative and has a spherically symmetricdistribution.    
Thecharge is positive and has a spherically symmetricdistribution. Thecharge is positive and has a linear distribution. (a) What is the net charge within the sphere'ssurface?

Thecharge is positive and has a spherically symmetricdistribution. Thecharge is positive and has a linear distribution. Thecharge is positive and has a linear distribution.

Explanation / Answer

a) Q = AEo          =r2 Eo          = 3.14 * 0.64 *890 * 8.85 x 10-12          = 15.828 nC b) The charge is negativeand has a spherically symmetric distribution.
