A charge $Q$ is uniformly distributed over a large square plate of copper. The electric field at a point very close to the centre of the plane is $10\, V/m$. If the copper plate is replaced by a plastic plate of the same geometrical dimensions and carrying the same charge $Q$ uniformly distributed, then the electric field at the point $P$ will be......$V/m$

There is a solid sphere of radius $‘R’$ having uniformly distributed charge throughout it. What is the relation between electric field $‘E’$ and distance $‘r’$ from the centre ( $r$ is less than R ) ?
A long charged cylinder of linear charged density $\lambda$ is surrounded by a hollow co-axial conducting cylinder. What is the electric field in the space between the two cylinders?
The dimensions of an atom are of the order of an Angstrom. Thus there must be large electric fields between the protons and electrons. Why, then is the electrostatic field inside a conductor zero ?
Consider a sphere of radius $R$ with charge density distributed as :
$\rho(r) =k r$, $r \leq R $
$=0$ for $r> R$.
$(a)$ Find the electric field at all points $r$.
$(b)$ Suppose the total charge on the sphere is $2e$ where e is the electron charge. Where can two protons be embedded such that the force on each of them is zero. Assume that the introduction of the proton does not alter the negative charge distribution.
Shown in the figure are two point charges $+Q$ and $-Q$ inside the cavity of a spherical shell. The charges are kept near the surface of the cavity on opposite sides of the centre of the shell. If $\sigma _1$ is the surface charge on the inner surface and $Q_1$ net charge on it and $\sigma _2$ the surface charge on the outer surface and $Q_2$ net charge on it then
