1. Electric Charges and Fields
medium

Consider an atom with atomic number $Z$ as consisting of a positive point charge at the centre and surrounded by a distribution of negative electricity uniformly distributed within a sphere of radius $R$. The electric field at a point inside the atom at a distance $r$ from the centre is

A

$\frac{ Ze }{4 \pi \varepsilon_0}\left[\frac{1}{r^2}-\frac{r}{R^3}\right]$

B

$\frac{Z e}{4 \pi \varepsilon_0}\left[\frac{1}{r^2}+\frac{1}{R^3}\right]$

C

$\frac{2 Z e}{4 \pi \varepsilon_0 r^2}$

D

$0$

Solution

(a)

$E=E_1-E_2$

$E=\frac{k \cdot z e}{r^2}-\frac{k z e r}{R^3}$
