Problem 50P
(III) A point charge Q rests at the center of an uncharged thin spherical conducting shell. (See Fig. 16–34.) What is the electric field E as a function of r (a) for r less than the inner radius of the shell, (b) inside the shell, and (c) beyond the shell? (d) How does the shell affect the field due to Q alone? How does the charge Q affect the shell?

Problem 50P
(III) A point charge Q rests at the center of an uncharged thin spherical conducting shell. (See Fig. 16–34.) What is the electric field E as a function of r (a) for r less than the inner radius of the shell, (b) inside the shell, and (c) beyond the shell? (d) How does the shell affect the field due to Q alone? How does the charge Q affect the shell?
ANSWER:
Solution
Step 1 of 4
In this problem, we have to find the inner radius of the shell, also inside the shell,beyond the shell and the shell affect the field due to Q alone.
