Chapter 19, Problem 9OQ
Two solid spheres, both of radius 5 cm, carry identical total charges of 2 μC. Sphere A is a good conductor. Sphere B is an insulator, and its charge is distributed uniformly throughout its volume. (i) How do the magnitudes of the electric fields they separately create at a radial distance of 6 cm compare? (a) EA > EB = 0 (b) EA > EB > 0 (c) EA = EB > 0 (d) 0 < EA < EB (e) 0 = EA < EB (ii) How do the magnitudes of the electric fields they separately create at radius 4 cm compare? Choose from the same possibilities as in part (i).
