Homework Statement


There's a conducting spherical shell with Q = q2 and V =100v and outter radius R


Homework Equations


V=k*Q/R


The Attempt at a Solution



First I calculate the E field using Gauss law, and I get E=q2/4*Pi*E0*r

Integrating the E field to get the potential V y get:

V = q2/4*pi*E0*R = 100

And there I get the value of q2

Sorry this is the first time I open a thread and I might haven't been too concise.

Im asked to find the charge in the sphere knowing the inner radius = 0.15m and the outter radius = 0.2

The result I get is 2.22 exp -9 when the correct answer according to my assignment should be 1.67 exp -9 so i don't know where the mistake is.
