$A$ and $C$ are concentric conducting spherical shells of radius $a$ and $c$ respectively. $A$ is surrounded by a concentric dielectric of inner radius $a$, outer radius $b$ and dielectric constant $k$. If sphere $A$ is given a charge $Q$, the potential at the outer surface of the dielectric is.

Three concentric spherical shells have radii $a, b$ and $c (a < b < c)$ and have surface charge densities $\sigma ,-\;\sigma $ and $\;\sigma \;$ respectively. If  $V_A,V_B$ and $V_C$  denote the potentials of the three shells, then, for $c = a +b,$ we have

Consider a sphere of radius $R$ with uniform charge density and total charge $Q$. The electrostatic potential distribution inside the sphere is given by $\theta_{(r)}=\frac{Q}{4 \pi \varepsilon_{0} R}\left(a+b(r / R)^{C}\right)$. Note that the zero of potential is at infinity. The values of $(a, b, c)$ are

A charge $+q$ is distributed over a thin ring of radius $r$ with line charge density $\lambda=q \sin ^{2} \theta /(\pi r)$. Note that the ring is in the $X Y$ - plane and $\theta$ is the angle made by $r$ with the $X$-axis. The work done by the electric force in displacing a point charge $+ Q$ from the centre of the ring to infinity is

Two small equal point charges of magnitude $q$ are suspended from a common point on the ceiling by insulating mass less strings of equal lengths. They come to equilibrium with each string making angle $\theta $ from the vertical. If the mass of each charge is $m,$ then the electrostatic potential at the centre of line joining them will be $\left( {\frac{1}{{4\pi { \in _0}}} = k} \right).$
