A solid metallic sphere of radius a carries total charge

Chapter 24, Problem 39

(choose chapter or problem)

A solid metallic sphere of radius a carries total charge Q. No other charges are nearby. The electric field just outside its surface is keQ /a 2 radially outward. At this close point, the uniformly charged surface of the sphere looks exactly like a uniform flat sheet of charge. Is the electric field here given by s/P0 or by s/2P0?
