Consider the force F on a charge 'q' due to a uniformly charged spherical shell of radius R carrying charge Q distributed uniformly over it. Which one of the following statements is true for F, if  'q' is placed at distance r from the centre of the shell?
  1. F=14π0QqR2 for r<R
  2. 14π0qQR2>F>0 for r<R
  3. F=14π0Qqr2 for r>R
  4. F=14π0Qqr2 for all r

Solution

  

E=O,r<R

=qQr2,rR

Inside F=0 and outside sphare

F=2Qq4π0r2
