Shown in the figure is a point charge that has been placed in the center of a spherical
conducting shell with an inner radius of 0.6 meters. The outer surface of the
spherical conducting shell has been connected to ground. A "ground" is just a place
to gain electrons from, or lose electrons too. After coming to equilibrium, where
charge stops moving in the system, the surface charge density on the inner shell is
20 nC/m2, calculate the I charge of the point charge in nanocoulombs.
Enter you answer in units of nC rounding your final answer to two decimal places. If
A positive charge is brought close to a fixed neutral conductor that has a cavity. The cavity is neutral; that is, there is no net charge inside the cavity. Which of the figures best represents the charge distribution on the inner and outer walls of the conductor?

(b) Part (a) is an example of a general rule: A charge distributed through some volume will always produce an electric field whose value is a continuous function of position as we cross out of the charge (as we did going from inside to outside of the uniformly charged insulating sphere.) A charge that is distributed across an area (a thin layer of charge with surface charge density o) will produce a field whose value is a DIScontinuous function of position, and the discontinuity is only in the component that is perpendicular to the area and has a value equal to o/€0.…arrow_forward
