Spherical Shell Insulator
An insulator in the shape of a spherical shell is shown in cross-section above. The insulator is defined by an inner radius a = 4 cm and an outer radius b = 6 cm and carries a total charge of Q = + 9 μC (1 μC = 10-6 C). (You may assume that the charge is distributed uniformly throughout the volume of the insulator).
What is Ey, the y-component of the electric field at point P which is located at (x,y) = (0, -5 cm) as shown in the diagram?
Ey = N/C
