A thin spherical shell of radius R has charge Q spread uniformly over its surface. Which of the following graphs most closely represents the electric field E(r) produced by the shell in the range `0lerltoo`, where r is the distance from the centre of the shell?

A

(a)

B

(b)

C

(c)

D

(d)

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
The electric field inside a thin spherical shell of radius R has charge Q spread uniformly over its surface is zero.

Outside the shell the electric field is `E=k(Q)/(r^2)`. These characteristics are represented by graph(a).
