A uniformly charged thin spherical shell...

A uniformly charged thin spherical shell of radius R carries uniform surface charge denisty of `isgma` per unit area. It is made of two hemispherical shells, held together by presisng them with force F(see figure). F is proportional to

A

`(1)/(epsilon_(0))sigma^(2)R^(2)`

B

`(1)/(epsilon_(0))sigma^(2)R`

C

`(1)/(epsilon_(0))(sigma^(2))/(R)`

D

`(1)/(epsilon_(0))(sigma^(2))/(R^(2))`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
1

Pressure =` (sigma^(2))/(2epsilon_(0))` and Force=`(sigma^(2))/(2epsilon_(0))xxpiR^(2)`
