Q11.Ques: σ is the uniform surface charge density of a thin spherical shell of radius R. The electric field at any point on the surface of the spherical shell is : (1) σ/ϵoR (2) σ/ϵo (3) σ/4ϵo (4) σ/2ϵo
What This Question Tests
This question directly tests the knowledge of the electric field just outside the surface of a uniformly charged thin spherical shell, which is a standard result from Gauss's law.
Concepts Tested
Formulas Used
E = σ/ϵ₀ (for conducting surface)
E = σ/2ϵ₀ (for non-conducting thin sheet)
