Transcribed Image Text:Conducting spherical shell of radius b, located at the origin, has a potential V=V,b/r for r>b and V, for r<b. Calculate the stored energy for b=1.3 m and V=30 V. (take potential equals to zero at infinity).
Expert Solution
Step 1

Given information:

Physics homework question answer, step 1, image 1

Here, V is the potential outside the conducting shell, b is the radius of the shell, and V0 is the potential inside the shell.

Step 2

Since the potential inside the conducting shell is constant, thus the electric field (Ein) inside the shell is zero.
