In the figure, the inner (shaded) region AA represents a sphere of radius rA=1{r}_{A} = 1, within which the electrostatic charge density varies with the radial distance rr from the center as {ρ}_{A} = kr, where kk is positive. In the spherical shell BB of outer radius rB{r}_{B}, 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.

In the figure, the inner (shaded) region A represents a sphere of radius r _ A = 1 , within which the electrostatic

Which of the following statement(s) is/(are) correct?

Options

  1. AIf rB=32{r}_{B} = \sqrt{\dfrac{3}{2}}, then the electric field is zero everywhere outside BB.
  2. BIf rB=32{r}_{B} = \dfrac{3}{2}, then the electric potential just outside BB is kε0\dfrac{k}{{ε}_{0}}.
  3. CIf rB=2{r}_{B} = 2, then the total charge of the configuration is 15\pik.15\pik .
  4. DIf rB=52{r}_{B} = \dfrac{5}{2}, then the magnitude of the electric field just outside BB is 13\pikε0\dfrac{13\pik}{{ε}_{0}}.

Correct answer

B. If rB=32{r}_{B} = \dfrac{3}{2}, then the electric potential just outside BB is kε0\dfrac{k}{{ε}_{0}}.

Step-by-step solution

In the figure, the inner (shaded) region A represents a sphere of radius r _ A = 1 , within which the electrostatic

Since both the densities are positive, the total charge can not be zero. Hence, option A is incorrect.

For total charge,

QTotal=∫0rAkr(4πr2)dr+∫rArB2kr(4πr2)dr{Q}_{Total} = {∫}_{0}^{{r}_{A}}kr\left(4\pi{r}^{2}\right)dr + {∫}_{{r}_{A}}^{{r}_{B}}\dfrac{2k}{r}\left(4\pi{r}^{2}\right)dr

=4\pik4rA4+8\pik2(rB2−rA2)= \dfrac{4\pik}{4}{r}_{A}^{4} + \dfrac{8\pik}{2}\left({r}_{B}^{2} - {r}_{A}^{2}\right)

=\pik+4\pik(rB2−rA2)= \pik + 4\pik\left({r}_{B}^{2} - {r}_{A}^{2}\right)

If rB=32{r}_{B} = \dfrac{3}{2}

QTotal=\pik+4\pik(94−1){Q}_{Total} = \pik + 4\pik\left(\dfrac{9}{4} - 1\right)

=\pik+4\pik(54)=6\pik= \pik + 4\pik\left(\dfrac{5}{4}\right) = 6\pik

The potential just outside BB will be,

V=14πε0QtotalrB=14πε06\pikrB=3k223ε0=kε0V = \dfrac{1}{4\pi{ε}_{0}}\dfrac{{Q}_{total}}{{r}_{B}} = \dfrac{1}{4\pi{ε}_{0}}\dfrac{6\pik}{{r}_{B}} = \dfrac{3k}{2}\dfrac{2}{3{ε}_{0}} = \dfrac{k}{{ε}_{0}}

Hence, option B is correct.

If rB=2{r}_{B} = 2

QTotal=\pik+4\pik(4−1){Q}_{Total} = \pik + 4\pik\left(4 - 1\right)= 13\pik</p><p>Hence,optionCisincorrect</p><p>If</p><p>Hence, option C is incorrect</p><p>If{r}_{B} = \dfrac{5}{2}</p><p></p><p>{Q}_{Total} = \pik + 4\pik\left(\dfrac{25}{4} - 1\right)</p><p></p><p>= \pik + \pik\left(21\right)</p><p></p><p>= 22\pik</p><p>Therefore,theelectricfieldjustoutsideBwillbe,</p><p></p><p>Therefore, the electric field just outside B will be,</p><p>E = \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.
