A solid metallic sphere of radius a carries total charge Q. No other charges are nearby. The electric field just outside its surface is keQ/a2 radially outward. At this close point, the uniformly charged surface of the sphere looks exactly like a uniform flat sheet of charge. Is the electric field here given by σ/ε0 or σ/2ε0?. . σ. ε0. . σ. 2ε0.

Answer :

The best and most correct answer among the choices you provided is σ/2ε0. The solution is as follows:

If you use a right circular cylinder as the gaussian surface with the"flat end" oriented parallel to the surface fo the sphere (assuming your small radial distance) then 

Integral(E*dA) = q/e0 = 1/e0 Integral( s dA) 

E = s/e0

I hope my answer has come to your help. Thank you for posting your question here in Brainly.
