aA uniformly charged ball of radiusaand charge -Qis at the center of a hollow metal shell with inner radius band outer radius c. The hollow sphere has net charge+2Q. Determine the electric field strength in the four regionsr≤a,a<r<b,b≤r≤c,andr>c.

Short Answer

Expert verified

Electric field strength in Er<ais-Qr4πϵoa3.

Electric field strength in Ea<r<bis14πϵo-Qr2.

Electric field strength in Ea<r<bis 0.

Electric field strength inEr>cis14πϵoQr2.

Step by step solution

01

Figure for electric field strength in four region

Figure is,

02

Formula for electric field

Electric flux is,

Φe=EA=Qinϵo

E=QinϵoA..1

The charge of the sphere divided by the volume of the sphere is the volume charge density of the surface.

Qin=ÒϳÕ=ÒÏ43Ï€°ù3

E=QinϵoA

=ÒÏ43Ï€°ù3ϵo4Ï€°ù2

role="math" localid="1648766646051" E=ÒÏr3ϵo....3

03

Calculation for electric field at distancer<a 

For the inner sphere at distancer<a:

The charge density is localid="1648766990163" ÒÏ=-Q/(4/3)Ï€²¹3.

The electric field is,

Er<a=ÒÏr3ϵo

=-Q/(4/3)Ï€²¹3r3ϵo

=-Qr4πϵoa3

04

Calculation for electric field at distance (a<r<b)

Outside of the little sphere(a<r<b):

The net charge was contained by the Gaussian surfacelocalid="1648918692131" -Q.

Area is,

A=4Ï€°ù2

This charge is enclosedlocalid="1648918728705" Qinin the gaussian surface is,

Qin=-Q

Substitute all values in equationlocalid="1648918736750" 1,

we get,

Ea<r<b=QinϵoA

=-Qϵo4Ï€°ù2

=14πϵo-Qr2

05

Calculation for electric field at distance (b<r<c)

At (b<r<c)the electric field is zero.

Because the conductor has no net chargelocalid="1648918753302" Qin=0.

The electric field is zero since it is dependent on the quantity of charge within the bulk.

Eb<r<c=0N/C

06

Calculation for electric field at distance r>c

For r>c(outside the sphere):

The charge enclosed is-Qand2Q.

Qin=2Q+(-Q)=Q

The gaussian surface has an area of,

A=4Ï€°ù2

Substitute all values in equationlocalid="1648918802887" 1,

We get,

Er>c=QinϵoA

=Qϵo4Ï€°ù2

=14πϵoQr2
