The earth is approximately a sphere of radius 6.37 × 106 m. Together with its atmosphere, it is electrically neutral. The Earth carries a negative electric charge on its surface, QEarth = -6.8 × 105 C. Calculate the magnitude of electric field (E) produced by the Earth at a location near its surface.
