JEE Advanced · Physics · 17. Electrostatics

In the figure, the inner (shaded) region A represents a sphere of radius rA=1, within which the electrostatic charge density varies with the radial distance r from the center as ρA=kr, where k is positive. In the spherical shell B of outer radius rB, the electrostatic charge density varies as ρB=2kr. Assume that dimensions are taken care of. All physical quantities are in their SI units.

Which of the following statement(s) is/(are) correct?

  1. A If rB=32, then the electric field is zero everywhere outside B
  2. B If rB=32, then the electric potential just outside B is kε0.
  3. C If rB=2, then the total charge of the configuration is 15πk.
  4. D If rB=52, then the magnitude of the electric field just outside B is 13πkε0.
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) If rB=32, then the electric potential just outside B is kε0.

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Since both the densities are positive, the total charge can not be zero. Hence, option A is incorrect. For total charge,
