Answer

$E = 25.3~N/C$

Work Step by Step

We can find the charge inside a sphere of radius $r = 3.00~cm$: $q = \frac{(3.00~cm)^3}{(4.00~cm)^3}(6.00~pC)$ $q = 2.53125\times 10^{-12}~C$ We can find the electric field at a $r = 3.00~cm$: $\epsilon_0~\Phi = q$ $(\epsilon_0)~(E)~(4\pi~r^2) = q$ $E = \frac{q}{4\pi~\epsilon_0~r^2}$ $E = \frac{2.53125\times 10^{-12}~C}{(4\pi)~(8.854\times 10^{-12}~F/m)~(0.0300~m)^2}$ $E = 25.3~N/C$
