Two non-conducting spheres of radii `R_(1)` and `R_(2)` and carrying uniform volume charge densities `+rho` and `- rho` respectively are placed such that they partially overlapping region.

A

the electrostatic field is zero

B

the electrostatic potential is constant

C

the electrostatic field is constant in magnitude

D

the electrostatic field has same direction

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C, D
For electrostatic field,
`E_(p)=E_(1)+E_(2)=p/(3epsi_(0))C_(1)p+((-p))/(3epsi_(0))C_(1)P=p/(3epsi_(0))(C_(1)P+PC_(2))=p/(3epsi_(0))C_(1)C_(2)`
