Electric Field of Concentric Spherical Shells
< Prev
Next >

Two concentric spherical shells have radii a and b (a < b). The inner shell has a uniform surface charge density σ₁, and the outer shell has a uniform surface charge density σ₂. What is the electric field at a point at distance r, where a < r < b?

A

E = (σ₁a²)/(ε₀r²)

B

E = (σ₁a² - σ₂b²)/(ε₀r²)

C

E = (σ₁a² + σ₂b²)/(ε₀r²)

D

E = (σ₂b² - σ₁a²)/(ε₀r²)
