Question:

A charged sphere (radius r, surface charge density σ) has electric field E. If the radius doubles (charge density constant), what's the ratio of the old to new electric field?

Show Hint

Electric field depends on charge density, not radius.

The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

E = σ/ϵ₀. Electric field is independent of radius if charge density is constant. Therefore, the ratio is 1.
