Expert Solution
Step 1

Given: The diameter of the conducting sphere is 1.7 m.

           The surface charge density is 8.7 μC/m2.

To determine: (a) The net charge on sphere 

Note: 1 μC=10-6 C

The expression for surface charge density is 

Surface charge density=Charge qArea A  .................... (1) 

The area is 

A=4πr2A=4πd22A=4π1.7 m22A=9.075 m2
