MCQ
A uniformly charged thin spherical shell of radius $\mathrm{R}$ carries uniform surface charge density of $\sigma$ per unit area. It is made of two hemispherical shells, held together by pressing them with force $\mathrm{F}$ (see figure). $\mathrm{F}$ is proportional to
  • $\frac{1}{\varepsilon_0} \sigma^2 R^2$
  • B
    $\frac{1}{\varepsilon_0} \sigma^2 R$
  • C
    $\frac{1}{\varepsilon_0} \frac{\sigma^2}{\mathrm{R}}$
  • D
    $\frac{1}{\varepsilon_0} \frac{\sigma^2}{\mathrm{R}^2}$

Answer

Correct option: A.
$\frac{1}{\varepsilon_0} \sigma^2 R^2$
a
Pressure $=\frac{\sigma^2}{2 \varepsilon_0}$ and force $=\frac{\sigma^2}{2 \varepsilon_0} \times \pi \mathrm{R}^2$
