but E = 0 inside the conductor. That I am certain of and there is definitely an E field outside the entire sphere. Thanks in advance for helping.

in the hollow the radial charge is radially outward toward the (-) charges that are on the inner wall of the conducting sphere. At the second layer, the conducting sphere's solid area, the charge is radially inward due to the charge polarization and the + charges that are along the outer-most...

My answer to your question is yes, the problem states that it is a conducting sphere which tells me that the because there is a + charge at center then the inner wall of the conductor has a - charges due to polarization. But this also causes a bit of confusion for me because if the net charge...

Homework Statement A hollow conducting spherical shell has radii of .80m and 1.20m. The sphere carries a net charge of -500 nC. A stationary point charge of +300 nC is present at the center origin. Calculate the electric field at points: a) 0.30m b) 1.00m c) 1.50m I have attached the image...

I follow you up until you state sum the washers into a shell. Please provide a hint as to that specific.

Yes that is the problem. spherical coordinates make more sense. I will try that and post tomorrow what I have come up with. I don't have my calculus book nearby to refresh my memory of spherical coord. integration. This is one of those problems that has me intrigued and eager to "beat". It...

Homework Statement A hollow sphere of outer radius R2 and inner radius of R1 carries a uniform charge 2Q. The sphere is then cut in half to create a hemispherical shell of charge Q. Calculate E at the center point (origin) P. Homework Equations equation of a hollow sphere =...
