Is spherical shell and sphere are same?
Answer: Both spherical shell and sphere are of same radius and have same charge. If the spherical shell and sphere are made of metal then there is no diffrence as all charge will reside on the surface in both cases. Spherical shell means it is hollow inside.
What is the charge on a spherical shell?
0
The whole charge is distributed along the surface of the spherical shell. There’s no charge inside. Therefore, q-enclosed is 0. Since q-enclosed is 0, therefore we can say that the electric field inside of the spherical shell is 0.
What do you mean by spherical shell?
In geometry, a spherical shell is a generalization of an annulus to three dimensions. It is the region of a ball between two concentric spheres of differing radii.
Is Shell hollow sphere or solid sphere?
Spherical shell means it is hollow inside. If shell and sphere are made of metal then there is no diffrence.
Why is the charge of a sphere zero?
It is because charge doesn’t reside inside it, it moves outside the surface of it producing electric field inside zero. Because at any point inside the spherical shell the total charge enclosed is zero.
How do I know my shell charge?
- The charge on the outer surface of the conducting shell is +XQ.
- A point charge q is placed inside a conducting spherical shell of inner radius 2R and outer radius 3R at a distance of R from the center of the shell.
Is spherical shell hollow from inside?
Is Shell hollow or solid?
What is the difference between a sphere and a spherical shell?
Assumption: Both spherical shell and sphere are of same radius and have same charge. If the spherical shell and sphere are made of metal then there is no diffrence as all charge will reside on the surface in both cases. But if the sphere is non metallic then charge residing inside layers of sphere can not come out to surface.
What is the density of charge on a spherical shell?
Spherical shell means it is hollow inside. If shell and sphere are made of metal then there is no diffrence. If they are made of non-metal and charge homogeneous ly distributed then also they can be treated equally but if non homogeneous than not equal. Density of charge = total charge / area or volume.
What is the difference between Gaussian sphere and charged shell?
We examine separately the field outside the spherical shell, inside the shell and inside the hollow part. When computing the intensity outside the shell, the radius of the Gaussian sphere is larger than that of the charged shell. Inside it the whole charge is distributed in the shell.
What is the electric field around a charged spherical shell?
The formula is the same as the formula for an electric field around a point charge. The field around a charged spherical shell is therefore the same as the field around a point charge. Finally, we need to evaluate the charge Qinside the Gaussian surface using the given values
