Electric Potential of A Uniformly Charged Spherical Shell

A uniformly charged spherical shell has an electric charge Q distributed over its surface. The electric field is 0 inside the shell and kQ/r^2 outside the shell. The electric potential outside the shell is kQ/r, and inside the shell it is kQ/R, where R is the radius of the shell.

Electric Potential of a Uniformly Charged Spherical Shell

Electric charge on shell: Q = A = 4R2

Electric field at r > R: E =

Electric field at r < R: E = 0
Electric potential at r > R:

Electric potential at r < R:

Here we have used r0 = as the


reference value of the radial
coordinate.
