(a). A positive charge Q is uniformly distributed on a spherical surface of radius R. Use Gauss law and derive the expression for the electric field (magnitude and direction) everywhere in space.
(b). Consider a system consisting of a charged spherical surface discussed in (a) and a positive point charge 2Q located at distance 3R from the center of a sphere, see figure. Find the magnitude and the direction of electric field at point P, located half distance between the charge 2 Q and the center of the sphere.
