Electric Charges and Fields

One of the fundamental properties is the electromagnetic property. Charge cannot be destroyed by any process and this contributes formally to the law of charge conservation.

Question

An aluminum spherical ball of radius 4.5 cm has a charge of 3.5 µC. A
copper spherical shell, concentric with the aluminum ball, has an inner radius of 6.5 cm, an
outer radius of 7.5 cm, and a total charge of – 9.5 µC. Because the only non-zero component of
the electric field is radially directed, the electric field may be expressed as E = Ef.
