Q70 / 90 · JEE Main 2016 (03 Apr) · Physics

The region between two concentric spheres of radii 'a' and 'b', respectively (see figure), has volume charge density ρ=Ar , where A is a constant and r is the distance from the centre. At the centre of the spheres is a point charge Q. The value of A such that the electric field in the region between the spheres will be constant, is:

  • A
    2Qπa2-b2
  • B
    2Qπa2
  • Correct answer
    C
    Q2πa2
  • D
    Q2πb2-a2

Solution

Figure

E=E1+E2

⇒E=KQ+∫ar4πx2dxAxr2

E=KQr2+4πAr22r2-a22r2

dEdr=0

⇒-2Qr3+8πAa22r3=0

A=Q2πa2

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'C'.
