- A solid conducting sphere of radius 2 cm has a charge of -10 mC. Concentric With
the sphere is a conducting spherical shell with an inner radius of 4 cm, an outer
radius of 6 cm, and a charge of +5 mC.
(i) Determine the net charge enclosed by a concentric spherical Gaussian surface
when its radius is 1 cm, 3 cm, 5 cm and 7 cm. Explain your answers.
(ii) Find the magnitude and direction of the electric field measured at a point of
radial distance 7 cm away from the centre of the solid conducting sphere.

Firstly, I would like to check if I drew the diagram correctly:
I'm unsure of the question's phrasing in this case.
Should if the drawing is correct,
(i)
When radius is 1cm, charge enclosed = -10mC
When radius is 3cm, charge enclosed is -10+10 +5? I'm unsure where the 5mC is here in this case.
Thanks.
