Step 1
First, we need to find the electric field inside and outside the shell using Gauss's law. Inside the shell: By Gauss's law, the electric field inside the shell is zero since there is no charge enclosed. Outside the shell: By Gauss's law, the electric field Show moreā¦

Consider a spherical thin shell of radius R with charges uniformly distributed on its surface. The uniform surface charge density is denoted as Ļ. Setting the potential V to be zero at infinity, find the electric potential created by the charged shell by directly using V = ā«(k * dq) / r. Using V, find the electric field E created by the shell. Find the energy W stored in this system.

A nonconducting sphere of radius $r_{2}$ contains a concentric spherical cavity of radius $r_{1} .$ The material between $r_{1}$ and $r_{2}$ carries a uniform charge density $\rho_{\mathrm{E}}\left(\mathrm{C} / \mathrm{m}^{3}\right) .$ Determine the electric potential $V,$ relative to $V=0$ at $r=\infty,$ as a function of the distance $r$ from the center for $(a) r>r_{2}$ $(b) r_{1} < r < r_{2},$ and $(c) 0 < r < r_{1} .$ Is $V$ continuous at $r_{1}$ and $r_{2} ?$

(III) The volume charge density $\rho_{\mathrm{E}}$ within a sphere of radius $r_{0}$ is distributed in accordance with the following spherically symmetric relation $$\rho_{\mathrm{E}}(r)=\rho_{0}\left[1-\frac{r^{2}}{r_{0}^{2}}\right]$$ where $r$ is measured from the center of the sphere and $\rho_{0}$ is a constant. For a point $\mathrm{P}$ inside the sphere $\left(r< r_{0}\right),$ determine the electric potential $V .$ Let $V=0$ at infinity.
