Answer

The charge on the exterior surface of the shell is $~~-3.40\times 10^{-12}~C$

Work Step by Step

In part (e), we found that the charge on the interior surface of the shell is $-3.40\times 10^{-12}~C$ Since the shell is a conductor, there is no charge inside the shell. The net charge on the shell is $-6.80\times 10^{-12}~C$ We can find the charge $Q$ on the exterior surface of the shell: $-3.40\times 10^{-12}~C+Q = -6.80\times 10^{-12}~C$ $Q = -3.40\times 10^{-12}~C$ The charge on the exterior surface of the shell is $~~-3.40\times 10^{-12}~C$
