JEE Advanced · Physics · 17. Electrostatics

Two non-conducting solid spheres of radii R and 2R, having uniform volume charge densities ρ 1 and ρ 2 , respectively, touch each other. The net electric field at a distance 2R from the centre of the smaller sphere, along the line joining the centres of the spheres, is zero. The ratio ρ 1 ρ 2 can be

  1. A - 4
  2. B - 3 2 2 5
  3. C 3 2 2 5
  4. D 4
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) 4

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation


Field due to small sphere
= K ρ 1 4 3 π R 3 2 R 2
Field due to bigger sphere
= K ρ 2 4 3 π 2 R 3 × R 2 R 3
The net electric field at point P will be Enet=0
