An electron is projected towards a metal plate with a surface charge density $\sigma = -2 \times 10^{-6} \ C/m^2$. If the electron strikes the plate with zero velocity,calculate the distance $d$ between the electron gun and the plate in terms of its initial kinetic energy $E_k$.

Three infinite plane sheets carrying uniform charge densities $-\sigma, 2 \sigma, 4 \sigma$ are placed parallel to the $XZ$ plane at $Y=a, 3a, 4a$ respectively. The electric field at the point $(0, 2a, 0)$ is

$(a)$ Show that the normal component of the electrostatic field has a discontinuity from one side of a charged surface to another given by $(E_2 - E_1) \cdot \hat{n} = \frac{\sigma}{\varepsilon_0}$, where $\hat{n}$ is a unit vector normal to the surface at a point and $\sigma$ is the surface charge density at that point. (The direction of $\hat{n}$ is from side $1$ to side $2$.) Hence, show that just outside a conductor, the electric field is $\frac{\sigma \hat{n}}{\varepsilon_0}$. $(b)$ Show that the tangential component of the electrostatic field is continuous from one side of a charged surface to another.

As shown in the figure,a ball $B$ is suspended by a string $S$ from a large charged plate $P$ such that it makes an angle $\theta$ with the plate. The surface charge density of the plate is proportional to which of the following?

The electric field in a certain region is acting radially outward and is given by $E = Ar$. $A$ charge contained in a sphere of radius $a$ centered at the origin of the field will be given by:

Which graph shows the variation of the electric field of a uniformly charged non-conducting sphere with respect to the distance $(r)$ from the centre?
