Electric Field due to Charged Sphere

[QUOTE="tomizzo, post: 4729394, member: 386502"] [h2]Homework Statement [/h2] Refer to the attached photo for the problem statement. [h2]Homework Equations[/h2] Electric Field Strength = 1/(4*pi*EpsilonNaught)*q/r^2 [h2]The Attempt at a Solution[/h2] So, I need to find the charge magnitude of q. Because the electric field strength is given at a point greater than the radius of the sphere, that should allow me to treat the entire sphere and point charge as a single point charge. Using the above formula, I get the net charge to be -8.34 micro coulombs. I take this number and then subtract the charge from the sphere and should be getting the correct answer. However, I'm getting an answer not listed. Am I making an incorrect assumption somewhere? [/QUOTE]
