Question

A thin spherical shell of radius R has charge Q spread uniformly over its surface. Which of the following graphs most closely represents the electric field E (r) produced by the shell in the range 0 < r < ¥, where r is the distance from the center of the shell?

Accepted Answer

Correct answer: D. (d) Since, the electric field inside the shell is zero and outside, the electric field is given as kQr^2, where r = distance from center. So, graph is as shown in option (d).
