Physics Question on Electric charges and fields
Charges Q, 2Q and 4Q are uniformly distributed in three dielectric solid spheres 1,2 and 3 of radii R/2,R and 2R respectively, as shown in figure. If magnitudes of the electric fields at point P at a distance R from the centre of spheres 1,2 and 3 are E1,E2 and E3 respectively, then
A
E1>E2>E3
B
E3>E1>E2
C
E2>E1>E3
D
E3>E2>E1
Answer
E2>E1>E3
Explanation
Solution
For point outside dielectric sphere E=4πε0r2Q
For point inside dielectric sphere E=EsRr
Exact Ratio E1:E2:E3=2:4:1
