Explanation:
Below is an attachment containing the solution.
Answer:
a) E_total = 6,525 10⁴ N /C ,field direction is radial outgoing
b) E_total = 1.89 10⁶ N / C, field is incoming radial
c) E_total = 0
Explanetion:
For this exercise we can use that the charge in a spherical shell can be considered concentrated at its center and that the electric field inside the shell is zero, since Gauss's law is
Ф = E .dA = q_{int} /ε₀
inside the spherical shell there are no charges
The electric field is a vector quantity, so we calculate the field created by each shell and add it vectorly.
We have two sphere shells with radii 0.050m and 0.15m respectively
a) point where you want to know the electric field d = 0.20 m
shell 1
the point is on the outside,d>ro, therefore we can consider the charge to be concentrated in the center
E₁ = k q₁ / d²
shell 2
the point is on the outside,d>ro
E₂ = k q₂ / d²
the total camp is
E_total = -E₁ + E₂
E_total = k ( )
E_total = 9 10⁹ (-2.1 10⁻⁶+ 5 10⁻⁶ / .2²
E_total = 6,525 10⁵ N /C
The field direction is radial and outgoing ti the shells
b) the calculation point is d = 0.10m
shell 1
point outside the shell d> ro
E₁ = k q₁ / d²
shell 2
the point is inside the shell d <ro
Therefore, according to Gauss's law, since there are no charges in the interior, the electrioc field is zero
E₂ = 0
E_total = E₁
E_total = k q₁ / d²
E_total = 9 10⁹ 2.1 10⁻⁶ / 0.1²
E_total = 1.89 10⁶ N / A
As the charge is negative, this field is incoming radial, that is, it is directed towards the shell 1
c) the point of interest d = 0.025 m
shell 1
point is inside the shell d< ro
as there are no charges inside
E₁ = 0
shell 2
point is inside the radius of the shell d <ro
E₂ = 0
the total field is
E_total = 0
