Gauss's Law and Conducting Material Below you have a conducting sphere. There sphere itself has an excess of charge. This charge is Q (see value below) This sphere is mostly solid, but has a cavity inside. Think avocado if you could take out the pit but leave the avocado intact. The image to the right shows the thick conducting material of the sphere (gray), the inner hollow inside the sphere (white) and the charge q that has been placed inside. this sphere (red). Charge Q=?11.0nC Charge q=?7.60nc Now, the charge q inside will cause polarization (a separation of charges within an object). However, this will still be related to the overall charge on the sphere itself. How much excess charge will be on the inner surface of the shell? This is the outermost surface of the system. Make sure to include the sign of the charge if it is negative as well in your answer. Leave your answer in nC. Your answer should include:
