Two thin concentric spherical shells of radii r1 and r2 (r1 < r2) contain uniform surface charge densities V1 and V2, respectively. Determine the electric field for (a) 0 < r < r1 , (b) r1 < r < r2 and (c) r > r2. (d) Under what conditions

Answer is explained in the explanation section below.

Explanation:

Solution:

We know that the Electric field inside the thin hollow shell is zero, if there is no charge inside it.

So,

a)  0 < r < r1 :

We know that the Electric field inside the thin hollow shell is zero, if there is no charge inside it.

Hence, E = 0 for r < r1

b)  r1 < r < r2:

Electric field =?

Let, us consider the Gaussian Surface,

E x 4  =

So,

Rearranging the above equation to get Electric field, we will get:

E =

Multiply and divide by

E = x

Rearranging the above equation, we will get Electric Field for r1 < r < r2:

E= (σ1 x ) /( x )

c) r > r2 :

Electric Field = ?

E x 4  =

Rearranging the above equation for E:

E =

E = +

As we know from above, that:

=  (σ1 x ) /( x )

Then, Similarly,

= (σ2 x ) /( x )

So,

E = +

Replacing the above equations to get E:

E = (σ1 x ) /( x ) + (σ2 x ) /( x )

Now, for

d) Under what conditions,  E = 0, for r > r2?

For r > r2, E =0 if

σ1 x = - σ2 x

depends on what you mean by "group." for order, it would be coleoptera (beetles). for class, it would be insecta (insects). for phylum, it would be the arthropoda (animals with jointed exoskeletons).
