Two spherical cavities (A and B) of radii x and y are hollowed out from the interior of a conducting sphere of radius R. Charges q1 and q2 are placed at centre of cavities A and B. The situation is depicted in the figure given:
|
What is the electric field outside the conductor at distance r from the center of large sphere? Take r as unit vector from centre of large sphere. |
q1/4πεor2 r q2/4πεor2 r (q1 + q2)/4πεor2 r (q1 - q2)/4πεor2 r |
(q1 + q2)/4πεor2 r |
Electric field outside will be due to the surface charges on the outer surface. |
