The electric field everywhere on the surface of a thin, spherical shell of radiu

Question

The electric field everywhere on the surface of a thin, spherical shell of radius 0.700 m is of magnitude 858 N/C and points radially toward the center of the sphere. (a) What is the net charge within the sphere's surface? nC (b) What is the distribution of the charge inside the spherical shell? The positive charge has a spherically symmetric charge distribution. The negative charge has a spherically symmetric charge distribution. The positive charge has an asymmetric charge distribution. The negative charge has an asymmetric charge distribution.

Explanation / Answer

a. apply Electrci field E = Kq/r^2

so charge q = Er^2/K

q = 858 * 0.7*0.7/(9e9)

q = - 46.71 nC

b. since in towards the sphere, this must be a -ve charge

option B,
