(1/4pi[epsilon]_0)*Q^2/2R

This can be derived from the fact that a spherical shell seemingly has a potential of a point charge (that is, k*Q/R) and W =½ int Vdq, where dq can be replaced with a [sigma]dA=[sigma] 4 pi r dr and sigma= Q/A = Q/4piR^2 => int½ Vdq = int ½k*Q/r*Q/(4piR^2)*4pir dr from 0 to R = k*½*Q^2/R^2 int dr from 0 to R = ½kQ^2/r=k*Q^2/2r.

How does a spherical capacitor works?

in spherical capacitor two concentric sphere are taken of different radii. one is charged uniformly and placed inside other of greater radii. due to electric induction negative charge come at inner part of second sphere and positive charge come at outer sphere. to vanish this charge we earthed it. only negative charge remains on inner surface which decrease potential of first charged sphere and increase capacity.


Mentoin two special properties for uniformly charged spherical shell?

From Gauss's Law, Electric Field inside is 0, and it's electric flux is equal to Qenclosed/Eo, where Eo is the electric vacuum permittivity constant. Also, outside of the sphere, it could be treated as a point charge, where the point lies at the center of the shell and has a charge equal to the total charge of the shell.

What is meant by charged metallic plate?

A charged metallic plate is a thin rectangular (or square) sheet that carries a surface charge. Because metal is a conductor, you can assume that the surface charge is spread uniformly over the area of the plate.


What can happen to an electron in an atom when it gains or loses energy?

it gains or acquires a charge either positive or negative so when it gains energy, it aquires a negative charge then when it loses energy, it aquires a positive charge


What is the electric field outside a charged spherical shell?

The electric field outside the shell is the same as it would be if all the charge of the shell was concentrated as a point charge in the centre of the shell.


What is the net electrostatic force acting on a charged particle located inside a shell of uniform charge?

That depends on the shape of the shell. If it's spherical, then the force is zero.
