A charge of -5.50nC is spread uniformly over the surface of one face of a nonconducting disk of radius 1.00cm

Part A

Find the magnitude of the electric field this disk produces at a point P on the axis of the disk a distance of 3.00cm from its center.

Part B

Suppose that the charge were all pushed away from the center and distributed uniformly on the outer rim of the disk. Find the magnitude of the electric field at point P.

Part C

If the charge is all brought to the center of the disk, find the magnitude and direction of the electric field at point P.

Part D

Why is the field in part (a) stronger than the field in part (b)?

Part E

Why is the field in part (c) the strongest of the three fields?

A spherical balloon is initially uncharged. If you spread positive charge uniformly over the balloon's surface would it expand or contract? What would happen if you spread negative charge instead? According to my TA the correct answer is when it's positive charge it expands and when it's negative charge it contracts. What is the reasoning behind this? Please explain.
