The radius of a gold nucleus (Z = 79) is about 7.0 × 10-15m. Assume that the positive charge is distributed uniformly throughout the nuclear volume. Find the strength of the electric field at:
  1. The surface of the nucleus.
  2. At the middle point of a radius. Remembering that gold is a conductor, is it justified to assume that the positive charge is uniformly distributed over the entire volume of the nucleus and does not come to the outer surface?
