Positive charge Q=5 nC is placed on a conducting spherical shell with inner radius R1=20 cm and outer radius R2=30 cm . A particle with charge q=4 nC is placed at the center of the cavity. What is the magnitude of the electric field at a point in the cavity, a distance r=12 cm from the center? (Take Coulomb's constant k=9x10 9 N m2 /C2)

if the person is shown to have +90n, then ans is -10n.

if the person is shown to have -90n, then ans is +10n.

speed of light in vacuum is 300,000 km/s

speed of light in other mediums is given by the expression v = c/n, where c is the speed of light in vacuum and n is the refractive index of medium.

for the first medium v = 200,000 km/s

  so, refractive index of medium = 300000/200000 = 1.5

    1.5 refractive index is usually for glass. so first medium is glass.

for the second medium v = 250,00 km/s

so, refractive index of medium = 300000/250000 = 1.2

    1.2 refractive index is usually for water. so second medium is water.

for the third medium v = 0 km/s

so, refractive index of medium = 300000/0 = ∞

    ∞ refractive index is usually for opaque mediums. so third medium is opaque medium.
