# Value of E on a point inside a solid uniformly charged sphere due to the part of the solid sphere on the outside of the point

Suppose there is a uniformly charged solid sphere of radius $$R$$ and we choose a gaussian surface of radius $$r$$ centered about the center of the solid uniformly charged sphere where $$R>r$$.

Then is the value of $$E$$ (electric field) due to the part of solid charged sphere outside the gaussian surface zero at a 'particular point' on the gaussian surface?

OR: Is the net value of $$E$$ on the gaussian surface as a whole has zero value, while the value of $$E$$ on a particular point on the gaussian surface has a finite value? And they cancel out each other when we consider the gaussian surface as a whole?

• Si Thomas has showed you... much clearer and easy to read. – user207455 Jul 7 at 9:10
• Which do you mean, a sphere with a inform surface or volume charge? – my2cts Jul 7 at 10:48
