Electric field on the surface of a Spherical Shell

Two spherical shells of same surface charge density but the radius in the ratio 1: 2 What is the ratio of electric fields on the surface of the spherical shell

E=(1/4πε0)q/r2
On the surface of the sphere r=R (radius of the shell)
••• E=(1/4πε0)q/R2
But q=σA (σ=surface charge density and A=surface area=4πR2)
••• E=(1/4πε0) σ 4πR2/R2
 ie E=σ/ ε0
On the surface of the shell, E is independent of radius of the shell but depends  on the surface charge density
In this case the surface charge density is the same so ratio of E on the surface is 1: 1

Graphs and Level curves of functions of Two variables Definitions The set of points (x,y) in the plane where a function f (x,y) has a constant value f(x,y)=c is called a level curve of f The set of all points (x,y,f (x,y)) in space, for (x,y) in the domain of f, is called the graph of f The graph of f is called the surface z=f (x,y) The equation of the following hyperbolic paraboloid is `z=50+x^2-y^2`

Renewable Energy-Solar

The conventional energy sources are depleting at an exponential  rate .The energy crisis is a major concern for the nation around. The coal will last long only for 100 years or less petroleum resource will be exhausted nearly in 50 years time. The oil producing countries it self is moving towards the introduction of renewable energy sources , major among them is Solar energy. The energy production in the sun is  by the  nuclear fusion , hydrogen in the core of sun is converting in to heavier nucleus helium during this process the nuclear binding energy is liberating in the form useful energy . The plants can absorb the visible light and utilize it  for photosynthesis . The use of solar energy by natural means is coming only 1 to 2 % , rest of the energy is un utilized The solar energy capturing technique (Photo Voltaic) was introduced by Charles Fritts   in the year 1883 The solar energy can be  utilized in the following ways 1.  ...
