A conducting sphere is placed within a conducting spherical shell. The conductors are in electrostatic equilibrium. The inner sphere has a radius of 1.50 cm, the inner radius of the spherical shell is 2.25 cm, and the outer radius of the shell is 2.75 cm. The inner sphere has a charge of 228 nC and the spherical shell has zero net charge. What is the electric field at a point 3.80 cm from the center? Enter a positive answer if the electric field is directed away from the center and a negative answer if the electric field is directed toward the center.
