Chapter 15, Problem 15.34

(choose chapter or problem)

The dome of a Van de Graaff generator receives a charge of 2.0 104 C. Find the strength of the electric eld (a) inside the dome; (b) at the surface of the dome, assuming it has a radius of 1.0 m; and (c) 4.0 m from the center of the dome. [Hint: See Section 15.6 to review properties of conductors in electrostatic equilibrium. Also, use the fact that the points on the surface are outside a spherically symmetric charge distribution; the total charge may be considered to be located at the center of the sphere.]
