The electrostatic potential inside a charged spherical ball is given by , where is the distance from the centre, are constants. Then the charge density inside the ball is


Important Questions on Electrostatics



This questions has Statement and Statement Of the four choices given after the statements, choose the one that best describes the two statements.
An insulating solid sphere of radius has a uniformly positive charge density As a result of this uniform charge distribution there is a finite value of the electric potential at the centre of the sphere, at the surface of the sphere and also at a point outside the sphere. The electric potential at infinity is zero.
Statement : When a charge is taken from the centre to the surface of the sphere its potential energy changes by
Statement : The electric field at a distance from the centre of the sphere is


A charge is uniformly distributed over a long rod of length as shown in the figure. The electric potential at the point lying at distance from the end is

Assume that an electric field exists in space. Then find the potential difference where is the potential at the origin and the potential at is
