Homework Statement
A hollow spherical conductor, carrying a net charge +Q = 47 pC, has inner radius r1 = 5.9 cm and outer radius r2 = 11.9 cm. At the center of the sphere is a point charge +Q/2.
a. Find the potential at r = 18.0 cm.
b. Find the potential at r = 10.0 cm.
c. Find the potential at r = 4.0 cm.
Homework Equations
V= Q/4πε0*r (for potential of a sphere)
1pC=1.0E-12C
1pC=1.0E-12C
The Attempt at a Solution
First I converted pC to C, so I get 4.7E-11C. Then I used the equation for potential, so I just substituted the values of r and used the different values of Q depending on whether the potential I need to find is near to Q or to Q/2. (i.e., Q/2 when finding V at 4cm). I'm not sure what charge I should be using or if there are more steps than simply plugging in numbers.
