Question

Consider the uniformly charged sphere with radius R, shown in the figure below. Q is the total charge inside the sphere Find the total flux passing through the Gaussian surface (a spherical shell) with radius r. Find the value of the electrostatic potential at the same radius r. V = 1 / 2 kQ / R (r / R)2 V = 1 / 2 kQ / R [3 - (R / r)2] V = 1 / 2 kQ / r [3 - (R / r)2] V = 1 / 2 kQ / r [3 - (r / R)2] V = 1 / 3 kQ / R (R / r)2 V = 1 / 3 kQ / R [2 - (R / r)2] V = 1 / 3 kQ / R [2 - (r / R)2] V = 1 / 3 kQ / r [2 - (R / r)2] V = 1 /2 kQ / R [ 3 - (r / R)2] V = 1 / 3 kQ / r [2 - (r /R)2]
