(a) Use Gauss’s Law for the electric field to show that the electric field is discontinuous at the charged surface of a conducting plane.

(b) Devise a way to apply this same approach to a patch on a charged spherical conductor. Hint: Draw a diagram with the electric field so you can specify the shape of the surface.

Use Gauss's law to prove that the electric field outside any spherically symmetric charge distribution is the same as if all of the charge were concentrated into a point charge at the center of the sphere. Then use Gauss's law to prove that the electric field inside a spherically symmetric conductor carrying a net charge on its surface is zero.
