1. Electric Charges and Fields

Two identical non-conducting thin hemispherical shells each of radius $R$ are  brought in contact to make a complete sphere . If a total charge $Q$ is uniformly distributed on them, how much minimum force $F$ will  be required to hold them together

A

$F = \frac{{{Q^2}}}{{16\pi {\varepsilon _0}{R^2}}}$

B

$F = \frac{{{Q^2}}}{{32\pi {\varepsilon _0}{R^2}}}$

C

$F = \frac{{{Q^2}}}{{64\pi {\varepsilon _0}{R^2}}}$

D

 $\frac{{{Q^2}}}{{32\pi {\varepsilon _0}{R^2}}} >F> \frac{{{Q^2}}}{{64\pi {\varepsilon _0}{R^2}}}$

Solution

$\mathrm{F}=$ (Electric pressure) $\times$ (Projected area)

$=\frac{\sigma^{2}}{2 \varepsilon_{0}}\left(\pi r^{2}\right)=\left(\frac{Q}{4 \pi R^{2}}\right)^{2}\left(\frac{1}{2 \varepsilon_{0}}\right) \pi R^{2}$

$\left[ {\frac{{{{\rm{Q}}^2}}}{{32\pi {\varepsilon _0}{{\rm{R}}^2}}}} \right]$
