Heres The Problem:
The electric field everywhere on the surface of a thin spherical shell of radius 0.750 m is measured to be equal to 890 N/C and points radially toward the center of the sphere.
(a) What is the net charge within the sphere's surface?
(b) What can you conclude about the nature and distribution of the charge inside the spherical shell?
Here is where I am at:
I know this has something to do with Gauss's Law
r = .750 m
E = 890 N/C
Ke = 8.99 * 10^9 N*m^2/C^2
Ke = 1 / 4 *(pi)*(permittivity of free space)
(permittivity of free space) = 1 / 4*(pi)*(Ke)
*is the Electric Flux the Net charge within the sphere's surface ?
*q = E*(r^2)/Ke Is this correct?
Am I going the right way on this?I Need To Solve This Algebraically
