Solution Summary

It finds the electric field of a spherical shell with uniform volume charge density. The solution is detailed and has a '5/5' rating.

Solution Preview

Please see the attached file.
Considering a spherical Gaussian surface with radius r, the electric field is parallel to dA vector everywhere on the surface, so the dot product becomes a simple multiplication because the angle between E vector and ...
