Question
A thin conducting spherical shell of radius R has charge Q spread uniformly over its surface. Using Gauss’s law, derive an expression for an electric field at a point outside the shell.

Draw a graph of electric field E(r) with distance r from the centre of the shell for $0\underline{<}\text{r}\underline{<}\infty.$

✓

Answer

$\oint\overrightarrow{\text{E}}.\overrightarrow{\text{ds}} = \frac{\text{q}}{\varepsilon_\circ}$

$\text{E}\times4\pi\text{r}^{2} =\frac{\text{Q}}{\varepsilon_\circ}$

$\text{E} = \frac{1}{4\pi\varepsilon_\circ}\frac{\text{Q}}{\text{r}^{3}}$
