Question

Two non-conducting spheres of radii R₁ and R₂ and carrying uniform volume charge densities + p and -p, respectively, are placed such that they partially overlap, as shown in the figure. At all points in the overlapping region, 

(A) the electrostatic field is zero 

(B) the electrostatic potential is constant 

(C) the electrostatic field is constant in magnitude 

(D) the electrostatic field has same direction

Answer 1

(C) the electrostatic field is constant in magnitude 

(D) the electrostatic field has same direction

In triangle PC₁C₂

\(\vec{r_2}=\vec{d}+\vec{r_1}\)

The electrostatic field at point P is
