Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

For a charged sphere, what happens to the electric field inside the sphere as the radius increases?
  • Step 1: Understand that we are talking about a charged sphere, which means it has an electric charge distributed over its surface.
  • Step 2: Recall that the electric field is a measure of the force that a charged object would feel in the presence of other charges.
  • Step 3: Know that inside a uniformly charged sphere, the electric field is affected by the charge distribution.
  • Step 4: Realize that according to Gauss's law, the electric field inside a uniformly charged sphere is zero, regardless of the radius of the sphere.
  • Step 5: Conclude that as the radius of the sphere increases, the electric field inside remains zero.
  • Electric Field Inside a Charged Sphere – The electric field inside a uniformly charged sphere is zero regardless of the radius of the sphere.
