That makes sense, in lecture my instructor wasn't very clear about how conductors worked, but it makes sense now. Thnk you again for your help, i greatly appreciate it.

ok, ok, i got it, thank you very much for your help!

i tried that method too and got the same answer as i did using the other method, the answer is wrong regardless though

0? would that make the charge on the inside of the conductor +5.3?

the electric field inside a conductor is always zero according to my lecture... and the charge enclosed there would be the -5.3 + whatever the inner surface of the conductor is, which i don't know, nor do i know how to find it...

Yes, sorry about that i meant electric field, and wouldn't the charge on the inner surface of the outer shell just be the negative of the outer? If that's not it then I'm not entirely sure.

Homework Statement Two concentric conducting spherical shells produce a radially outward electric field of magnitude 49,000 N/C at a point 4.10 m from the center of the shells. The outer surface of the larger shell has a radius of 3.75 m. If the inner shell contains an excess charge of -5.30...

Homework Statement How would i go about finding the electric field and potential difference when there is a constant charge density between the capacitor rather than a vacuum? Homework Equations int E dot dA = Qencl/epsilon0 V ab = int E dot dl The Attempt at a Solution to be honest I am not...
