Electric field strength graph for one sphere
The
electric field strength
of a sphere is given by the equation \(E = \frac{Q}{4 \pi \varepsilon_0 r^2}\).
Q
represents the
total charge
on the sphere surface.
\(𝜀_{0}\) is a constant that represents the permittivity of air.
E is
zero inside the sphere
as the charges are
evenly spaced out
on the surface of the sphere in a way that produces 0 field strength in the sphere.
E decreases as r increases outside the sphere as \(𝜀_{0}\) and Q remain the same. Thus, \( E \propto \frac{1}{r^2} \)
