Chapter 18, Problem 42P

& Earth's electric field Earth has an electric charge of approximately $\text{-**\#x00A0;5}\text{.7 }\times {\text{ 10}}^{\text{5}}\text{C}$ distributed relatively uniformly on its surface. Determine as many quantities as possible about the electrical properties of the space around Earth. Use any additional information that you need. Indicate any assumptions that you made.
