To deduce the expression for the electric field due to a uniformly charged spherical conducting shell of radius \( R \) at a point outside and inside the shell using Gauss's law, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understanding the Setup Consider a uniformly charged spherical conducting shell of radius \( R \) with total charge \( Q \). We need to find the electric field \( E \) at a point \( P \) which is at a distance \( r \) from the center of the shell. ### Step 2: Electric Field Outside the Shell (\( r > R \)) 1. **Choose a Gaussian Surface**: For points outside the shell, we choose a spherical Gaussian surface of radius \( r \) where \( r > R \). 2. **Apply Gauss's Law**: According to Gauss's law, the electric flux \( \Phi_E \) through the Gaussian surface is given by: ...
