For a thin uniformly charged spherical shell, the field points outside the shell at a distance x from the centre is
E=4πε01x2Q
If the radius of the sphere is R,Q=σ4πR2
E=4πε01x2σ4πR2=ε0x2σR2
This is inversely proportional to square of the distance from the centre. It is as if the whole charge is concentrated at the centre
