Question 1
A total positive charge is uniformly distributed on the surface of a spherical thin shell (the cross section of the shell is shown as the black circle in Figure 1). The red circle, which is concentric with the black circle, is the cross section of a spherical Gaussian surface (GS). The spherical GS can be placed inside or outside the spherical thin shell.

(a) Consider a spherical GS, with radius 0.2 m, which is outside the spherical thin shell. The electric field on the spherical GS is uniform, radial in direction with magnitude 5 N/C. Calculate the total charge on the spherical thin shell.
