Question

The Van de Graaff generator has a spherical thin conducting shell with a radius of 15. cm and a surface charge density 2.1 x 10-3 μC/cm2 . a. Determine the total charge on the surface of the Van de Graaff [6.02 μC] b. Use Gauss's Law to determine the magnitude and direction of the electric field inside the dome at a distance 6. cm from the center. Sketch and label the electric field, Gaussian surface, etc. You must use Gauss's Law for full credit. [E = 0 for all points inside] c. Use Gauss's Law to determine the magnitude and direction of the electric field outside the dome at a distance 35. cm from the surface. Sketch and label the electric field, Gaussian surface, etc. You must use Gauss's Law for full credit. [2.17 x 105 N/C]
