Using Gauss's law, deduce the expression for the electric field due to a uniformly charged spherical conducting shell of radius R at a point outside the shell.

Plot a graph showing variation of electric field as a function of r>R and r<R (r being the distance from the centre of the shell).

Using Gauss's law, deduce the expression for the electric field due to a uniformly charged spherical conducting shell of radius R at a point inside the shell.

Plot a graph showing variation of electric field as a function of r>R and r<R(r being the distance from the centre of the shell).

State Gauss's law in electrostatics. Using this theorem, show mathematically that for any point outside the shell, the field due to uniformly charged thin spherical shell is the same as if entire charge of the shell is concentrated at the centre. Why do you expect the electric field inside the shell to be zero according to this theorem?

IMPORTANT
An 'atom' was earlier assumed to be a sphere of radius a having a positively charged point nucleus of charge +Ze at its centre. This nucleus was believed to be surrounded by a uniform density of negative charge that made the atom neutral as a whole. Use this theorem to find the electric field of this 'atom' at a distance r(r<a) from the centre of the atom.

Define electric flux quantity?

A point charge q is at a distance of d2 directly above the centre of a square of side d, as shown in Fig. 1.163. Use Gauss' law to obtain the expression for the electric flux through the square.
