Case Study
Read the following text and answer the following questions on the basis of the same:
Electric charge density is the electric charge per unit dimension. Electric charge may be distributed along the length, over the surface and in the volume of a conductor.
Surface charge density of a conductor is defined as the amount of charge distributed per unit surface area of the conductor. It is denoted by σ.
If Q amount charge is distributed over the surface of a conductor of total surface area A, then σ = Q/A. SI unit of surface charge density is C/m2 .
The dimension of electric charge is [TA] and the dimension of surface area is [L2].
So, the dimension of Surface charge density of a conductor is [L–2TA].
Let a conducting sphere of radius r have total charge Q on its surface. Now, the surface area of the sphere is A = 4πr2.
So, the surface charge density is σ = Q/4πr2. This is the formula for surface charge density of a sphere.
Surface charge density of a conducting spherical shell is also same as that of a conducting sphere of same radius and same charge. Since, the curvature of the surface of a sphere is same at every point on its surface, the surface charge density is constant at everywhere on the surface of sphere.
For a conductor of irregular shape, the surface area will be different at different points on its surface.
So, surface charge density will vary point to point on its surface. The value of surface charge density will be greater at that region where the curvature is greater. That means it will have greater surface charge density at its edges. So, there is no fixed formula for surface charge density of an irregular shaped conductor.
Q. 52. Surface charge density of a spherical conductor of radius 100 cm is 0.5 c/m2. The total charge on the surface is
(A) 6.25 × 104 C
(B) 6.25 C

(D) 12.5 C
Answer
B
Q. 53. Same amounts of charges are given to each of a sphere and a spherical shell having same radius.

(B) 1 : 2
(C) 1 : 1
(D) 1 : 4
Answer
C
Q. 54. Which of the following statement is correct?
(A) The value of surface charge density is greater at that region where the curvature is greater.
(B) The value of surface charge density is less at that region where the curvature is greater.
(C) The value of surface charge density does not depend on curvature of the surface.
(D) None of the above
Answer
A
Q. 55. Dimension of surface charge density is
(A) [L2TA]
(B) [L–2TA[
(C) [LT2A]
(D) [LT–2A]
