Consider a hollow sphere of radii h and 3h, interior and exterior respectively. The charge density on the sphere is ρ=ar, C/m3, where a is a positive constant, and r is the distance from the center of the sphere to an arbitrary point inside the sphere. A point charge with charge Q, of magnitude −16πah4 C, is located at the center of the sphere. Find the electric field, Eux, of the distribution, sphere and point charge, at a point (P), on the x-axis, located at a distance of 2h, measured with respect to the center of the sphere
