Consider a sphere of radius R which carries a uniform charge density ρ . If a sphere of radius R2 is carved out of it, as shown, the ratio EAEB of magnitude of electric field EA and EB , respectively, at points A and B due to the remaining portion is:

  1. 2134
  2. 1834
  3. 1754
  4. 1854

Solution

E=ρr3ε0
EA=-ρR23ε0
EA=ρR6ε0
Electric filed at point B=EB=E1A+E2A
E1A= Electric Filed Due to solid sphere of radius R at point B=ρR3ε0
E2A= Electric Filed Due to solid sphere of radius R2 (which having charge density ρ ) at point B
=-KQ'×49R2=-ρR54ε0
EB=E1A+E2A=ρR3ε0-ρR54ε0=17ρR54ε0
EAEB=917
