Answer: a) 112.88 * 10^3 N/C; b) The electric field point outward from the center of the sphere.
Explanation: In order to solve this problem we have to use the gaussian law so we use a gaussian surface at r=0.965 m and the electric flux is equal to Q inside/εo
E* 4*π*r^2= Q inside/εo
E= k*Q inside/r^2= 9*10^9*(6.53+5.15)μC/(0.965)^2=122.88 * 10 ^3 N/C
Explanation:
Formula depicting relation between total flux and total charge Q is as follows.
(Gauss's Law)
Putting the given values into the above formula as follows.
Q =
=
=
= -8.4 nC
Therefore, when the unknown charge is q then,
-14.0 nC + 33.0 nC + q = -8.4 nC
q = -27.4 nC
Thus, we can conclude that charge on the third object is -27.4 nC.
