Suppose 2 C of positive charge is distributed evenly throughout a sphere of 1.27 cm radius. (a) What is the charge per unit volume for this situation? C/m3 (b) Is the sphere insulating or conducting? How do you know? The sphere is conducting. If it were insulating, none of the charge would be in the interior of the sphere; it would only be on the surface. The sphere is insulating. If it were conducting, none of the charge would be in the interior of the sphere; it would only be on the surface. The sphere is conducting. If it were insulating, all of the charge would be in the interior of the sphere; not on the surface. The sphere is insulating. If it were conducting, all of the charge would be in the interior of the sphere; not on the surface.
