Electric Field Due to Charge Distributions - Approach
The magnitude...
Question
The magnitude of the electric field outside (r>R)
Open in App
Solution
Since the spherical symmetry is maintained, we can consider a spherical gaussian surface (r'>R) passing through the point P where electric field is to be found.
Then as per gauss law,
∫→E→dA=Netchargeenclosedϵ0
But for above case E will be uniform and angle between →E and →dA will be equal to 0,
