Question
The problem involves a conducting spherical shell and the calculation of the electric field at various points. The shell carries a charge of \(2.60 \, \text{nC}\), and a charge of \(-2.20 \, \text{nC}\) is located at the center of the sphere. The dimensions provided are \(a = 1.60 \, \text{m}\) and \(b = 2.30 \, \text{m}\).

The diagram depicts:

- A conducting spherical shell with radius variables \(a\) and \(b\).
- Two charges are shown: a central charge (\(q\)) and a charge on the shell (\(Q\)).

You are asked to find the electric field at different radii and understand the distribution of charge on the shell:

(a) For \(r = 1.50 \, \text{m}\), compute the magnitude and direction of the electric field.

(b) For \(r = 2.20 \, \text{m}\), compute the magnitude and direction of the electric field.

(c) For \(r = 2.50 \, \text{m}\), compute the magnitude and direction of the electric field.

(d) Determine the charge distribution on the inner and outer surfaces of the sphere.
