What is the magnitude of the electric field 15 mm from the center? Give the numerical value when calculated in units of N/C.

Electric Field outside a charged spherical shell: A+10 x 10-10 C charge
is distributed uniformly on a 10 mm radius spherical shell, similar to a
basketball. Use Gauss' Law to determine
the electric field produced by this charge
at a distance of 15 mm from the center of
the sphere.

Expert Solution
Step 1

Given data:

A charge is,

q =10×10-10 C

The radius of the spherical shell is,

R =10 mm

The electric is to find at a distance of 

r= 15 mm

Formula used:

According to Gauss law, electric flux passing through the closed surface is,

ϕ=E.ds = qε0

Where,

q- Charge enclosed
