The electric field due to a uniformly charged sphere of radius R as a function of the distance from its centre is represented graphically by

A

B

C

D

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
a uniformly charged conducting sphere electric field
inside E = 0 No charge enclose inside the conducting
outside `E=Kq//r^2` Outside it decrease uniformly
So graph (a) is correct
