$A$ spherical shell with an inner radius $a$ and an outer radius $b$ is made of conducting material. $A$ point charge $+Q$ is placed at the centre of the spherical shell and a total charge $-q$ is placed on the shell. Find the final charge distribution on the surfaces.

The line $AA^{\prime}$ lies on a charged infinite conducting plane which is perpendicular to the plane of the paper. The plane has a surface charge density $\sigma$. $B$ is a ball of mass $m$ with a like charge of magnitude $q$. $B$ is connected by a string to a point on the line $AA^{\prime}$. The tangent of the angle $\theta$ formed between the line $AA^{\prime}$ and the string is:

Consider a solid insulating sphere of radius $R$ with charge density varying as $\rho = \rho_0 r^2$,where $\rho_0$ is a constant and $r$ is measured from the centre. Consider two points $A$ and $B$ at distances $x$ and $y$ respectively $(x < R, y > R)$ from the centre. If the magnitudes of the electric fields at points $A$ and $B$ are equal,then:
