In the figure, the inner (shaded) region represents a sphere of radius , within which the electrostatic charge density varies with the radial distance from the center as {ρ}_{A} = kr, where is positive. In the spherical shell of outer radius , the electrostatic charge density varies as {ρ}_{B} = \dfrac{2k}{r}. Assume that dimensions are taken care of. All physical quantities are in their SI units.
Which of the following statement(s) is/(are) correct?
Options
- AIf , then the electric field is zero everywhere outside .
- BIf , then the electric potential just outside is .
- CIf , then the total charge of the configuration is
- DIf , then the magnitude of the electric field just outside is .
Correct answer
B. If , then the electric potential just outside is .
Step-by-step solution
Since both the densities are positive, the total charge can not be zero. Hence, option A is incorrect.
For total charge,
If
The potential just outside will be,
Hence, option B is correct.
If
= 13\pik{r}_{B} = \dfrac{5}{2}{Q}_{Total} = \pik + 4\pik\left(\dfrac{25}{4} - 1\right)= \pik + \pik\left(21\right)= 22\pikE = \dfrac{1}{4\pi{ε}_{0}}\dfrac{{Q}_{Total}}{{{r}_{B}}^{2}}\dfrac{1}{4\pi{ε}_{0}}\dfrac{22\pik}{25} \times 4$$= \dfrac{22k}{25{ε}_{0}}
Hence, option D is incorrect.
