Obtain the expression of electric field by charged spherical shell on a point outside it.
Consider a uniformly charged sphere of radius $\mathrm{R}$ having the charge density $\rho$.
Gauss's law is $\int \overrightarrow{\mathrm{E}} \cdot \overrightarrow{d a}=\frac{q}{\varepsilon_{0}}$
Here we imagine one spherical Gaussian surface of radius $r$ which is greater than $R .(r>R)$ Total flux passing through the surface $=4 \pi \mathrm{r}^{2} \mathrm{E}(\mathrm{r})$
Total charge enclosed $q=\frac{4 \pi}{3} \mathrm{R}^{3} \frac{\rho}{\varepsilon_{0}}$
$\therefore 4 \pi r^{2} \mathrm{E}(\mathrm{r})=\frac{4}{3} \pi \mathrm{R}^{3} \frac{\rho}{\varepsilon_{0}}$
$\therefore \mathrm{E}(\mathrm{r})=\frac{\mathrm{R}^{3} \rho}{3 \rho^{2} \varepsilon_{0}}(r>\mathrm{R})$
$\text { This equation gives the valu }$
This equation gives the value of the electric field for the points lying in the region outside the sphere at a distance $r$ from the centre of the sphere $(r>\mathrm{R})$.
Total charge of the sphere $Q=\frac{4}{3} \pi r^{3} \rho$
$\therefore \rho=\frac{3 Q}{4 \pi R^{3}}$
Using this in above equation,
$\therefore \mathrm{E}(\mathrm{r})=\frac{\mathrm{R}^{3}}{3 \mathrm{r}^{2} \epsilon_{0}} \cdot \frac{3 \mathrm{Q}}{4 \pi \mathrm{R}^{3}}$
$\therefore \mathrm{E}(\mathrm{r})=\frac{\mathrm{Q}}{4 \pi \epsilon_{0}} \cdot \frac{1}{\mathrm{r}^{2}}$
Thus, for a point outside the sphere the entire charge of the sphere can be treated as concentrated at its centre.
A hollow charged conductor has a tiny hole cut into its surface. Show that the electric field in the hole is $\left(\sigma / 2 \varepsilon_{0}\right) \hat{ n },$ where $\hat{ n }$ is the unit vector in the outward normal direction, and $\sigma$ is the surface charge density near the hole.
A hollow insulated conducting sphere is given a positive charge of $10\,\mu \,C$. ........$\mu \,C{m^{ - 2}}$ will be the electric field at the centre of the sphere if its radius is $2$ meters
A long, straight wire is surrounded by a hollow, thin, long metal cylinder whose axis coincides with that of wire. The wire has a charge per unit length of $\lambda$, and the cylinder has a net charge per unit length of $2\lambda$. Radius of the cylinder is $R$
Two parallel infinite line charges with linear charge densities $+\lambda\; \mathrm{C} / \mathrm{m}$ and $-\lambda\; \mathrm{C} / \mathrm{m}$ are placed at a distance of $2 \mathrm{R}$ in free space. What is the electric field mid-way between the two line charges?
