Question 8 9pt Shown in the figure is a point charge that has been placed in the center of a spherical conducting shell with an inner radius of 0.6 meters. The outer surface of the spherical conducting shell has been connected to ground. A "ground" is just a place to gain electrons from, or lose electrons too.
