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 ×10y

In the figure a solid sphere of radius a = 2.30 cm is concentric with a spherical conducting shell of inner radius b = 2.00a and outer radius c = 2.40a. The sphere has a net uniform charge q1 = +5.88 fC; the shell has a net charge q2 = −q1. What is the magnitude of the electric field at radial distances (a) r = 0 cm, (b) r = a/2.00, (c) r = a, (d) r = 1.50a, (e) r = 2.30a, and (f) r = 3.50a? What is the net charge on the (g) inner and (h) outer surface of the shell?

Problem 2 - Graphing electric field The picture shows a -Q charge at the origin, on the x-axis, surrounded by a conducting spherical shell (which has a net charge that has to be determined). We will assume there are no other objects, charged or not, nearby. (a) What is the total charge on the inner surface of the conducting shell? Express your answer in terms of Q. Include a positive sign or a negative sign, as appropriate. qinner = (b) We want to know the total charge on the outer surface of the shell, too, but to find that out we need to give you more information. Note that Q = 4.0 nC, and the field on the x-axis at x = +6.0 cm is 3.0×104 V/m in the positive x -direction. What is the total charge on the outer surface of the conducting shell? Express your answer in terms of Q. Include a positive sign or a negative sign, as appropriate. (c) Calculate the field at x = +5 cm, in V/m, including the direction. |E| = (d) Calculate the field at x = +2 cm, including the direction. |E| = direction = (e) Plot the field as a function of x at points on the +x -axis. If the field is directed in the +x direction, plot it as positive. If the field is directed in the -x direction, plot it as negative.
