SUMMARY
The electric charge (Q) of an electrically charged sphere with a radius of 0.05 m and an electric field strength of 30,000 N/C at a distance of 0.1 m from its center is calculated to be 3.3E-8 C. The relevant equations used in this calculation include E = F/q and E = -V/d. These equations relate the electric field strength to the force and charge, providing a framework for solving the problem effectively.
