Within a spherical charge distribution of charge density \(\rho \left( r \right)\), \(N\) equipotential surfaces of potential \({V_0},{V_0} + \Delta V,{V_0} + 2\Delta V,\)\(.....{V_0} + N\Delta V\left( {\Delta V > 0} \right),\) are drawn and have increasing radii \(r_0, r_1, r_2,......r_N\), respectively. If the difference in the radii of the surfaces is constant for all values of \(V_0\) and \(\Delta V\) then

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\rho \left( r \right) \propto \frac{1}{r}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

As we know electric field, \(E = \frac{{ - dv}}{{dr}}\)

\(E=\) constant   \(\therefore \) \(dv\) and \(dr\) same

\( \Rightarrow \,\rho  \propto \frac{1}{r}\)
