A thin spherical shell of radius 20.0 cm has 5.0 $ \mu$C of charge uniformly distributed over its surface.What is the electric field 10.0 cm from the center of the sphere? A) 4.5 $\times$ 10⁶ N/C inward B) 4.5 $\times$ 10⁶ N/C outward C) 2.3 $\times$ 10⁶ N/C inward D) 2.3 $\times$ 10⁶ N/C outward E) 0

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The electric field inside a conducting spherical shell is zero. Since 10.0 cm is inside the shell (radius 20.0 cm), the electric field is 0.
