The problem involves a charged spherical shell being expanded from a radius R to a radius H, with the goal of determining the work done by electric forces during this expansion. The context is rooted in electrostatics and energy considerations related to capacitors.
The discussion is ongoing, with participants exploring different interpretations of the problem. Some guidance has been offered regarding the need to consider energy stored in a spherical capacitor and the implications of changing electric fields on work calculations.
There are references to specific formulas for energy stored in capacitors and the capacity of spherical conductors, indicating that participants are working within the framework of established electrostatic principles. The discussion also highlights the complexity introduced by the changing conditions during the shell's expansion.
Because the electric field in continuously changing during the expansion of the spherical conductor. To find the total work done you have to take the integration.harini_5 said:what is the mistake in my approach?
why not take change in potential energy as work done?
