Chapter 22, Problem 19

A hollow, conducting sphere with an outer radius of 0.250 m and an inner radius of 0.200 m has a uniform surface charge density of +6.37×10−6 C/m2. A charge of −0.500 μC is now introduced at the center of the cavity inside the sphere. (c) What is the electric flux through a spherical surface just inside the inner surface of the sphere?

Textbook Question
Some planetary scientists have suggested that the planet Mars has an electric field somewhat similar to that of the earth, producing a net electric flux of −3.63×1016 N·m2/C at the planet's surface. Calculate:(c) the charge density on Mars, assuming all the charge is uniformly distributed over the planet's surface.
