Transcribed Image Text:### Description of the Diagram:
The diagram depicts a cross-section of two concentric spheres. The inner sphere is labeled "Insulator" and is surrounded by a "Metallic Shell." There are two spheres:
1. **Insulator (Inner Sphere)**
- Radius: 2 cm
- Charge: -6 μC
- It has a uniform volume charge density.
2. **Metallic Shell (Outer Sphere)**
- Inner Radius: 4 cm
- Outer Radius: 8 cm
- Net Charge: -6 μC
### Problem Description:
An insulating sphere with a radius of 2 cm and a charge of -6 μC is enclosed by a spherical metallic shell. The metallic shell has an inner radius of 4 cm and an outer radius of 8 cm, with a net charge of -6 μC. The insulating sphere maintains a uniform volume charge density.
**Question:**
What is the electric field (E field) at a distance of 2.6 cm from the center of the insulating sphere?
