Click For Summary
The discussion centers on determining whether the electric field inside a hollow dielectric sphere is zero. The user has attempted to solve the problem by analyzing electric fields generated by charge elements on the sphere's surface and using Gaussian surfaces. They express that the net electric field at any point inside the sphere should equal zero if the contributions from all charge elements cancel out. The user seeks further guidance on how to proceed with the proof. The conversation highlights the need for clarification on applying Gauss's law in this context.

Homework Statement


I am asked to find if there exists an electric field of a hollow dielectric field at a sphere is 0 and proof it.

Homework Equations


The Attempt at a Solution


I've drawn this picture:

http://img19.imageshack.us/img19/2295/hollowp.th.jpg

\omega \rightarrow 0
\delta q \rightarrow dq \rightarrow 0

E1 = k \frac{dq1}{r1^2}
E2 = k \frac{dq2}{r2^2}

if \vec{E_1} + \vec{E_2} = \vec{0} for p
\vec{E_net} = \vec{0}for all p
k \frac{dq_1}{r_1^2} = \frac{k\sigma\dA_1}{r_1^2}
k \frac{dq_2}{r_1^2} = \frac{k\sigma\dA_2}{r_2^2}

Explanation of the picture:
1. The two dotted circles are gaussian sphere each with radius r1 and r2.
2. The solid circle is the hollow dielectric sphere viewed from one side
3. P is just a point inside the dielectric sphere

So far this is all I got, can someone please guide me what to do next in this proof..

anyone?
 
The book claims the answer is that all the magnitudes are the same because "the gravitational force on the penguin is the same". I'm having trouble understanding this. I thought the buoyant force was equal to the weight of the fluid displaced. Weight depends on mass which depends on density. Therefore, due to the differing densities the buoyant force will be different in each case? Is this incorrect?
