1. Homework Statement
Instead of typing it out, a link to a scanned document of the problem is here: http://imgur.com/Be3jSLp.
The equations to use are stated in the problem here: http://imgur.com/Be3jSLp
For 3.a: Wouldn't you have to draw a gaussian sphere around the outer edge of the sphere, which would yield an enclosed charge of Q_o? Then after that, wouldn't you draw another one inside the conducting shell, resulting in an enclosed charge of zero? Therefore, wouldn't the charge at the center be -Q_o?
For 3.b: Using the equation given, I don't know exactly how to integrate the equation after you substitute in the E value given in the beginning of the problem.
Any advice?
