A hollow spherical conductor of radius 12 cm is charged to 6106C. Find the electric field strength at the surface of sphere, inside the sphere at 8cm and at distance 15cm from the sphere.

Given,

Radius of the charged sphere (R)=12cm
Charge (q)=6106C
Electric field intensity (E)=?

i) On the surface
E=14πϵ0qR2=91096106(0.12)2=3.75106N/C

ii) Inside the sphere,
E=0;          Because charge enclosed by Gaussian surface is zero.

iii) Outside the sphere at distance 15cm
i.e. r=12+15=27cm=0.27m
E=14πϵ0qr2=91096106(0.27)2=7.41105N/C
