Homework Statement
A hollow conducting spherical shell has an inner radius of 8 cm and an outer radius of
10 cm. The electric field at the inner surface of the shell, Ei, has a magnitude of 90 N/C
and points toward the centre of the sphere, and the electric field at the outer surface, Eo,
has a magnitude of 80 N/C and points away from the center of the sphere (see Figure A).
Determine the magnitude of the charge on the inner surface and the outer surface of the
spherical shell.
Homework Equations
For the inner surface: E =kqt/r1r^{3}
For the outer surface E = kqt/r2^{2}
The Attempt at a Solution
This uses Gauss's law. For the inner surface, set gaussian surface, with r1<r, r is the inner radius.
For outer surface, gaussian surface outside the sphere. r2>rs which is radius of shell.
I'm stupid I don't know what to do.
