An insulating spherical shell with inner radius 25.0 cm

Chapter 23, Problem 74P

(choose chapter or problem)

An insulating spherical shell with inner radius 25.0 cm and outer radius 60.0 cm carries a charge of +150.0 \(\mu \mathrm{C}\) uniformly distributed over its outer surface. Point a is at the center of the shell, point b is on the inner surface, and point c is on the outer surface.

(a) What will a voltmeter read if it is connected between the following points: (i) a and b; (ii) b and c ; (iii) c and infinity; (iv) a and c?

(b) Which is at higher potential: (i) a or b; (ii) b or c; (iii) a or c?

(c) Which, if any, of the answers would change sign if the charge were -150 \(\mu \mathrm{C}\)?
