Acharge if 2 nc is placed 10cm to the right of a conducting sphere with a diameter of 2 cm. a charge of 5 nc is placed 10 nc to the left of the same sphere. determine the charge at the center of the sphere.

The charge at the center of the conducting sphere is zero.

Explanation:

A principle of conductor materials is that the electric field inside a conductor in electrostatic state is always zero. The gauss law says that the flux of a electric field in a closed surface is proportional to the charge enclosed by the surface. Then if the Electric field inside of a conductor is zero, imperatively the charge anywhere inside the conductor is zero too, so the charge at the center of the sphere is zero.
