Answer

$E = 2.23\times 10^{-2}~N/C$

Work Step by Step

In part (a), we found that the total charge is $~~q = 7.78\times 10^{-15}~C$ We can draw a Gaussian sphere with radius $r = R$ that is concentric with the sphere of charge. We can find the magnitude of the electric field: $\epsilon_0~\Phi = q$ $(\epsilon_0)~(E)(4\pi~r^2) = q$ $E = \frac{q}{4\pi~\epsilon_0~r^2}$ $E = \frac{7.78\times 10^{-15}~C}{(4\pi)~(8.854\times 10^{-12}~F/m)~(0.0560~m)^2}$ $E = 2.23\times 10^{-2}~N/C$
