The region between two concentric spheres of radii '$a$' and '$b$' (see figure) has a volume charge density $\rho = \frac{A}{r}$,where $A$ is a constant and $r$ is the distance from the centre. At the centre of the spheres is a point charge $Q$. The value of $A$ such that the electric field in the region between the spheres is constant,is:

  • A
    $\frac{2Q}{\pi (a^2 - b^2)}$
  • B
    $\frac{2Q}{\pi a^2}$
  • C
    $\frac{Q}{2\pi a^2}$
  • D
    $\frac{Q}{2\pi (b^2 - a^2)}$

$A$ cubical volume is bounded by the surfaces $x = 0, x = a, y = 0, y = a, z = 0, z = a$. The electric field in the region is given by $\overrightarrow{E} = E_0 x \hat{i}$,where $E_0 = 4 \times 10^4 \text{ N C}^{-1} \text{m}^{-1}$. If $a = 2 \text{ cm}$,the charge contained in the cubical volume is $Q \times 10^{-14} \text{ C}$. The value of $Q$ is $...........$ (Take $\varepsilon_0 = 9 \times 10^{-12} \text{ C}^2 \text{ N}^{-1} \text{m}^{-2}$)

$A$ spherically symmetric charge distribution is characterised by a charge density having the following variations:
$\rho (r) = \rho_0 \left( 1 - \frac{r}{R} \right)$ for $r < R$
$\rho (r) = 0$ for $r \ge R$
Where $r$ is the distance from the centre of the charge distribution and $\rho_0$ is a constant. The electric field at an internal point $(r < R)$ is:

Three infinitely long charged sheets are placed as shown in the figure. The electric force acting on a charge $-q$ placed at the point $P$ is ($\sigma=$ surface charge density,$\varepsilon_0=$ permittivity of free space).

$A$ and $B$ are two concentric spheres. If $A$ is given a charge $Q$ while $B$ is earthed as shown.

In finding the electric field using Gauss's Law,the formula $|\overrightarrow{E}| = \frac{q_{enc}}{\varepsilon_{0}|A|}$ is applicable. In the formula,$\varepsilon_{0}$ is the permittivity of free space,$A$ is the area of the Gaussian surface,and $q_{enc}$ is the charge enclosed by the Gaussian surface. The equation can be used in which of the following situations?
