Question

A spherical shell of radius  R=1.5cm has a charge q=20μC  uniformly distributed over it. The force exerted by one half over the other half is

NA
Solution

Electrostatic PressureP=σ220

Force(F)=PA=PπR2

                                         =σ220πR2                                  σ=QA=Q4πR2 =Q216π2R4πR220 F=Q232π0R2 =20×1062×9×1098×1.5×1022 =2000N
