A charged shell of radiusRcarries a total chargeQ.GivenΦas the flux of electric field through a closed cylindrical surface of heighth,radiusrand with its center same as that of the shell. Here, center of the cylinder is a point on the axis of the cylinder which is equidistant from its top and bottom surfaces. Which of the following option(s) is/are correct? [0is the permittivity of free space]

Question diagram: A charged shell of radius R carries a total charge Q . Given

Options:(select one or more)

Answer:
A, B, C
Solution:

(A)h>2R   r>R

ϕ=Qε0
Clearly from Gauss' LawOptionAis correct.
forh=2r   R=4R5

shaded charge=2π(1-cos53o)×Q4π=Q5
Where,2π(1-cos53°)=solidangle
qenclosed=2Q5Q5abovecenterandQ5belowcenter
  ϕ=2Q5ε0
forh>2R,r=4R5
ϕ=2Q5ε0OptionDis incorrect.
Csupposeh=8R5 ��� r=3R5

ϕ=0(as no charge is enclosed inside the cylinder, as shown in diagram)
So forh<8R5,ϕ=0Option(C)is correct.
Blike optionDforh=2R,  r=3R5
qenclosed=2×2π1-cos37oQ4π=Q5
ϕ=Q5ε0Option(B)is correct.
