A circular disc of radius RR carries surface charge density σ(r)=σ0(1−rR)\sigma ( r ) = {\sigma}_{0}\left(1 - \dfrac{r}{R}\right), where σ0{\sigma}_{0} is a constant and rr is the distance from the center of the disc. Electric flux through a large spherical surface that encloses the charged disc completely is ϕ0{ϕ}_{0}. Electric flux through another spherical surface of radius R4\dfrac{R}{4} and concentric with the disc is ϕϕ. Then the ratio ϕ0ϕ\dfrac{{ϕ}_{0}}{ϕ} is

Correct answer

6.4

Step-by-step solution

Consider a ring element of radius rr, thickness in disc charge of element dQ=(2πrdr)σ⇒dQ=2\pirσ(dr)dQ = \left(2\pi rdr\right)\sigma ⇒ dQ = 2\pir\sigma\left(dr\right)

Total charge, Q=∫2\pirσ0(1−rR)drQ = ∫ 2\pir{\sigma}_{0}\left(1 - \dfrac{r}{R}\right)dr

Q=2πσ0(r22−r33R)Q = 2\pi{\sigma}_{0}\left(\dfrac{{r}^{2}}{2} - \dfrac{{r}^{3}}{3R}\right)

ϕ0=charge uptoRϵ0=2πσ0(R22−R33R){ϕ}_{0} = \dfrac{\text{charge upto}R}{{ϵ}_{0}} = 2\pi{\sigma}_{0}\left(\dfrac{{R}^{2}}{2} - \dfrac{{R}^{3}}{3R}\right)

ϕ=charge uptoR4ϵ0=2πσ0(R216×2−R364×3R)ϕ = \dfrac{\text{charge upto}\dfrac{R}{4}}{{ϵ}_{0}} = 2\pi{\sigma}_{0}\left(\dfrac{{R}^{2}}{16 \times 2} - \dfrac{{R}^{3}}{64 \times 3R}\right)

ϕ0ϕ=12−13132−1192=16×32×65=6.4\dfrac{{ϕ}_{0}}{ϕ} = \dfrac{\dfrac{1}{2} - \dfrac{1}{3}}{\dfrac{1}{32} - \dfrac{1}{192}} = \dfrac{1}{6} \times \dfrac{32 \times 6}{5} = 6 . 4
