AI Generated Solution

To find the energy stored in the electric field of a uniformly charged thin spherical shell with total charge \( Q \) and radius \( R \), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Electric Field of the Spherical Shell For a uniformly charged thin spherical shell, the electric field outside the shell (at a distance \( r > R \)) behaves as if all the charge were concentrated at the center. The electric field \( E \) at a distance \( r \) from the center of the shell is given by: \[ E = \frac{1}{4\pi \epsilon_0} \cdot \frac{Q}{r^2} \] ...
