Given that
The radius of the conducting sphere is(r) =5cm=5×102m
The potential is(V) = -100V
We know that the constant 1/4??o=9*109Nm2/C2
We know that
The potential (V) =1/4o.(q/r)
Now find charge from the above formula
The surface charge density is given by (?) = q/4r2
Now substitute all the above values you get the required answer i hope this may helps you
