Physics Question from JEE Main 2023 · 8 April, Shift 1

Graphical variation of electric field due to a uniformly charged insulating solid sphere of radius RR, with distance rr from the center OO is represented by:

Four candidate graphs of electric field E versus distance r for a uniformly charged solid sphere, along with a sphere diagram showing center O and radius R.
  • A

    (1) EE curves upward from the centre to a peak at r=Rr = R, then falls off linearly.

  • B

    (2) EE is constant inside the sphere up to r=Rr = R, then falls off as an inverse-square decay.

  • C

    (3) EE curves upward from the centre to r=Rr = R, then stays constant outside.

  • D

    (4) EE rises linearly from the centre to a peak at r=Rr = R, then falls off as an inverse-square decay.
