I want to calculate the electric field of a charged solid sphere without using Gauss's law

I can find the electric field from a charged solid sphere using Gauss's law but I am struggling to calculate this from Coulomb's law (I have seen examples of calculating e-field using Coulomb's law fo …

Does a point charge inside a conducting shell cause redistribution of charge in the shell?

A point charge Q is placed inside a conducting spherical shell at a random place (non-centre). I have read that there is no force on Q from the shell no matter where Q is inside the shell ('there wi …
