Discussion Forum : Electric Charges Fields And Gauss Law
Question -


A solid metallic sphere has a charge + 3Q. concentric with this sphere is a conducting spherical shell having charge –Q. The radius of the sphere is a and that of the spherical shell is b. (b > a). What is the electric field at a distance R (a < R < b) from the centre.

Options:
A .   Q2πϵ0R
B .   3Q2πϵ0R
C .   3Q4πϵ0R2
D .   4Q2πϵ0R2
E .   If assertion is false but reason is true.
Answer: Option C
:
C
We only need to consider the E contribution due to sphere.
Shell gives zero contribution to E at any point inside it.
Use direct formula.
E=14πϵ03QR2
E=3Q4πϵ0R2
