    This document presents calculations for the electric charge distribution and electric field due to a uniformly charged spherical shell. It shows that: 1) The electric charge Q(r) inside a spherical shell decreases exponentially with distance r from the center, approaching zero as r approaches infinity. 2) The radially outward electric field E due to the spherical shell decreases with the square of the distance r from the center and also decreases exponentially with r. 3) Both the charge distribution and electric field depend on the total charge Q on the shell and the shell's radius a0.
