Dilute ionized gas of earths ionosphere

Reference no: EM13650082

As a space shuttle moves through the dilute ionized gas ofEarth's ionosphere, the shuttle's potential is typically changed by-1.0 V during one revolution. Assuming the shuttle is a conducting sphere of radius 8.0 m, estimate the amount of charge (in C) itcollects.
