(a) Determine the charge Q on the sphere.

 

The charge is then concentrically surrounded by two uncharged conducting hemispheres of inner radius b = 0.40 m and outer radius c = 0.50 m, which are joined together as shown above, forming a spherical capacitor. A wire is connected from the outer sphere to ground, then removed.

 

(b) Determine the magnitude of the electric field in the following regions as a function of distance r from the center of the inner sphere.

 

	i. r < a

	ii. a < r < b

	iii. b < r < c

	iv. r > c

	(c) Determine the magnitude of the potential difference between the sphere and the conducting shell.

	(d) Determine the capacitance of the spherical capacitor.
