18. (II) A solid metal sphere of radius 3.00 m carries a total charge of -5.50 μC. What is the magnitude of the electric field at a distance from the sphere's center of (a) 0.250 m. (b) 2.90m, (c) 3.10 m, and (d) 8.00 m? How would the answers differ if the sphere were (e) a thin shell, or (f) a solid nonconductor uniformly charged throughout?
