Question

An electric charge Q is uniformly distributed over the surface of a sphere of radius r. Show that the force on a small charge element ‘dq’ is radially outward and is given by dF= E.dq/2, where E= Q/(4pe0r2) is the electric field at the surface of the sphere.

          An electric charge Q is uniformly distributed over the surface of a sphere of
radius r. Show that the force on a small charge element ‘dq’ is radially outward
and is given by dF= E.dq/2,
where E= Q/(4pe0r2) is the electric field at the surface of the sphere.
