JEE Advanced · Physics · 17. Electrostatics

Charges Q, 2Q and 4Q are uniformly distributed in three dielectric solid spheres 1, 2 and 3 of radii R/2, R and 2R respectively, as shown in the figure. If magnitudes of the electric fields at point P at a distance R from the centre of spheres 1, 2 and 3 are E1, E2 and E3 respectively, then

  1. A E1>E2>E3
  2. B E3>E1>E2
  3. C E2>E1>E3
  4. D E3>E2>E1
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) E2>E1>E3

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

For point outside dielectric sphere E=Q4πε0r2
For point inside dielectric sphere E=EsrR
Exact Ratio E1 :E2 :E3=2 :4 :1
