Two non-conducting solid spheres of radii and , having uniform volume charge densities and , respectively, touch each other. The net electric field at a distance from the centre of the smaller sphere, along the line joining the centres of the spheres, is zero. The ratio can be
Options
- A
- B
- C
- D
Correct answer
B.
Step-by-step solution
Field due to small sphere
Field due to bigger sphere
The net electric field at point will be
Equating above two, we get
[Charges cannot be of an opposite sign otherwise field will not zero]
Similarly, the net electric field at point becomes zero. Then here both spheres should have opposite polarity.
