(a)
The total and individual charge on the inner and outer surface of the spherical shell.
(a)

Explanation of Solution
Given:
A positive point charge of
Formula used:
The positive charge at the center of the spherical sphere induces a charge of same magnitude but different in polarity on the inner surface. The negative charge on the inner surface induces a positive charge of same magnitude on the outer surface.
Write the expression for the surface charge density
Here,
Write the expression for the surface area of the square sheet.
Here
Substitute
Forinner surface of the spherical shell.
The induced charge on the inner surface has same magnitude of the point charge .The polarity of the charge is opposite to the point charge.
Calculation:
Substitute
For outer surface of the spherical shell
The induced charge on the outer surface has same magnitude of the point charge .The polarity of the charge is same to the point charge
Substitute
Conclusion:
Thus, the total charge on the inner surface is

- I need help with part B. I cant seem to get the correct answer. Please walk me through what youre doing to get to the answer and what that could bearrow_forwardQuestion 6: Chlorine is widely used to purify municipal water supplies and to treat swimming pool waters. Suppose that the volume of a particular sample of Cl₂ gas is 8.70 L at 895 torr and 24°C. (a) How many grams of Cl₂ are in the sample? ⚫ Atomic mass of CI = 35.453 g/mol • Molar mass of Cl₂ = 2 x 35.453 = 70.906 g/mol Solution: Use the Ideal Gas Law: Step 1: Convert Given Values • Pressure: P = 895 torr → atm PV= = nRT 1 P = 895 × = 1.1789 atm 760 • Temperature: Convert to Kelvin: T24273.15 = 297.15 K • Gas constant: R = 0.0821 L atm/mol. K Volume: V = 8.70 L Step 2: Solve for n . PV n = RT n = (1.1789)(8.70) (0.0821)(297.15) 10.25 n = = 0.420 mol 24.405 Step 3: Calculate Mass of Cl₂ Final Answer: 29.78 g of Cl₂. mass nx M mass= (0.420)(70.906) mass= 29.78 garrow_forwardE1 R₁ w 0.50 20 Ω 12 R₁₂ ww ΒΩ R₂ 60 E3 C RA w 15 Ω E2 0.25 E4 0.75 Ω 0.5 Ωarrow_forward
