Homework Statement
A point charge −3 pC is concentric with two
spherical conducting thick shells, as show in
the figure below. The smaller spherical conducting shell has a net charge of 22 pC and
the larger spherical conducting shell has a net
charge of 18 pC.
1-4)Answer in units of pC
What is the charge on the inner surface of
the smaller spherical conducting shell, 1.2 cm
from the −3 pC point charge? Under static
conditions, the charge on a conductor resides
on the surface of the conductor.
Answer in units of pC
What is the charge on the outer surface of
the smaller spherical conducting shell, 4.1 cm
from the −3 pC point charge?
What is the charge on the inner surface of the
larger spherical conducting shell, 6 cm from
the −3 pC point charge?
What is the charge on the outer surface of the
larger spherical conducting shell, 8.8 cm from
the −3 pC point charge?
5-9)Answer in units of N/C
What is the magnitude of the electric field at
P1, 0.6 cm from the −3 pC point charge?
What is the magnitude of the electric field at
P2, 2.65 cm from the −3 pC point charge?
What is the magnitude of the electric field at
P3, 5.05 cm from the −3 pC point charge?
What is the magnitude of the electric field at
P4, 7.4 cm from the −3 pC point charge?
What is the magnitude of the electric field at
P5, 10.2 cm from the −3 pC point charge?
2. Homework Equations
electric flux= in E*dA
E=(kq/r^2)
3. The Attempt at a Solution
I started solving these and I know I have to use Gauss Law, I know I need to apply Gauss law for different radii but when i try set it up electric flux= in E*dA I don't seem to get it. I have tried several different ways
I know that 6 and 8 are 0 because they are in the conductor.
7 i used E=(kq/r^2)
but i have been really confused on the rest of them.
I have tried many different equations but have been confused on different lengths! If someone could at least lead me in the right direction I would really appreciate it!
