Consider an atom with atomic number $Z$ as consisting of a positive point charge at the centre and surrounded by a distribution of negative electricity uniformly distributed within a sphere of radius $R$. The electric field at a point inside the atom at a distance $r$ from the centre is

The magnitude of the average electric field normally present in the atmosphere just above the surface of the Earth is about $150\, N/C$,directed inward towards the center of the Earth. This gives the total net surface charge carried by the Earth to be......$kC$ [Given ${\varepsilon _0} = 8.85 \times {10^{ - 12}}\,{C^2}/(N \cdot m^2), {R_E} = 6.37 \times {10^6}\,m$]
