Problem22 65

The document summarizes the charge distribution and electric field of a spherical shell with uniform surface charge density. It then derives: 1) The total charge Q on the shell is equal to 15πR3α/24, where α is the surface charge density and R is the radius. 2) The electric field E inside and outside the shell is derived as a function of radius r. 3) For oscillations within the shell (r ≤ R/2), the restoring force is directly proportional to displacement, producing simple harmonic motion. The period of oscillation is then calculated. 4) For oscillations with amplitude greater than R/2, the restoring force is no longer linear in displacement, so the motion is no
