A charged paint is spread in a very thin uniform layer over the surface of a plastic sphere of diameter 10.0cm , giving it a charge of -15.0_C .




A: Find the electric field just inside the paint layer.

B: Find the electric field just outside the paint layer.

C: Find the electric field 6.00cm outside the surface of the paint layer.

You want the electric field 6cm outside of the sphere so the radius is 5 cm (half of the diameter of the sphere) plus the 6cm so the net radius is actually 11c
