To find the expression for the intensity of the electric field \( E \) at a point which is at a distance \( r \) (where \( r > R \)) from the center \( C \) of a thin spherical shell of radius \( R \) carrying charge \( Q \), we will use Gauss's law. Here’s the step-by-step solution: ### Step 1: Understand the Setup We have a thin spherical shell of radius \( R \) with a total charge \( Q \) uniformly distributed on its surface. We want to find the electric field at a point \( P \) located at a distance \( r \) from the center of the shell, where \( r > R \). **Hint:** Visualize the spherical shell and the point outside it. Remember that the charge is uniformly distributed on the surface. ### Step 2: Apply Gauss's Law ...
