(1/4πϵ0) q / r2 = (9∗ 109) ∗ (-15) / (0.06∗0.06) = 3.75∗ 101 3newton/coloum EdA = q enclosed ϵ0 EA = q enclosed ϵ0 E (4π r2) = q enclosed ϵ0 E = q enclosed (4π r2) ϵ0 E = - 15X 10 - 6 C (4π (5X 10 - 2+6X 10 - 2) 2) ϵ0 roadjester 3 years ago I converted the radius to meters 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
