Two point charges are enclosed by a spherical conducting shell that has an inner and outer radius of 13.0 cm and 15.2 cm, respectively. One point charge has a charge of q1 = 9.30 μC, while the second point charge has an unknown charge q2. The conducting shell is known to have a net electric charge of −3.10 μC, but measurements find that the charge on the outer surface of the shell is 3.70 μC. Determine the charge q2 of the second point charge in units of microcoulombs. q2 = μC TOOLS

Two point charges are enclosed by a spherical conducting shell that has an inner and outer radius of

13.0 c m

and

15.2 c m

, respectively. One point charge has a charge of

q_{1} = 9.30 μ C

, while the second point charge has an unknown charge

q_{2}

. The conducting shell is known to have a net electric charge of

- 3.10 μ C

, but measurements find that the charge on the outer surface of the shell is

3.70 μ C

.

Determine the charge

q_{2}

of the second point charge in units of microcoulombs.

q_{2} = \underset{\begin{matrix} \times 10^{y} \end{matrix}}{\underset{⏟}{}} μ C
