$A$ conducting sphere of radius $R = 20 \ cm$ is given a charge $Q = 16 \ \mu C$. What is the electric field $\overrightarrow{E}$ at the centre?

$A$ thin spherical shell of radius $R$ has charge $Q$ spread uniformly over its surface. Which of the following graphs most closely represents the electric field $E(r)$ produced by the shell in the range $0 \le r < \infty$,where $r$ is the distance from the centre of the shell?

$(a)$ 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.

The potential due to an electrostatic charge distribution is $V(r) = \frac{q e^{-\alpha r}}{4 \pi \varepsilon_{0} r}$,where $\alpha$ is positive. The net charge within a sphere centred at the origin and of radius $1/\alpha$ is

Two concentric conducting thin spherical shells $A$ and $B$ having radii $r_A$ and $r_B$ $(r_B > r_A)$ are charged to $Q_A$ and $-Q_B$ $(|Q_B| > |Q_A|)$. The electric field along a line passing through the centre is:

Consider two infinitely large plane parallel conducting plates as shown below. The plates are uniformly charged with a surface charge density $+\sigma$ and $-2 \sigma$. The force experienced by a point charge $+q$ placed at the midpoint between the two plates will be:
