Consider the force $F$ on a charge $'q'$ due to a uniformly charged spherical shell of radius $R$ carrying charge $Q$ distributed uniformly over it. Which one of the following statements is true for $F,$ if $'q'$ is placed at distance $r$ from the centre of the shell $?$
A
$F =\frac{1}{4 \pi \varepsilon_{0}} \frac{ Qq }{ r ^{2}}$ for $r > R$
B
$\frac{1}{4 \pi \varepsilon_{0}} \frac{q Q}{R^{2}}>F>0$ for $r < R$
C
$F =\frac{1}{4 \pi \varepsilon_{0}} \frac{ Qq }{ r ^{2}}$ for all $r$
D
$F =\frac{1}{4 \pi \varepsilon_{0}} \frac{ Qq }{ R ^{2}}$ for $r < R$
(JEE MAIN-2020)
Solution

Inside the shell
$E =0$
hence $F=0$
Oustside the sheell
$E =\frac{1}{4 \pi \varepsilon_{0}} \frac{ Q }{ r ^{2}}$
hence $F =\frac{1}{4 \pi \varepsilon_{0}} \frac{ Qq }{ r ^{2}}$ for $r > R$
