    $K\frac{2\lambda_1\lambda_2}{R^2}$
  • B
    $K\frac{2\lambda_1\lambda_2}{R}$

The electric field at a distance $r$ from the centre in the space between two concentric metallic spherical shells of radii $r_1$ and $r_2$ carrying charges $Q_1$ and $Q_2$ respectively is $(r_1 < r < r_2)$.

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:

$A$ non-conducting solid sphere has radius $R$ and uniform charge density. $A$ spherical cavity of radius $\frac{R}{4}$ is hollowed out of the sphere. The distance between the center of the sphere and the center of the cavity is $\frac{R}{2}$. If the charge of the sphere is $Q$ after the creation of the cavity and the magnitude of the electric field at the center of the cavity is $E = K \left( \frac{Q}{4 \pi \epsilon_0 R^2} \right)$,determine the approximate value of $K$.

An early model for an atom considered it to have a positively charged point nucleus of charge $Ze$,surrounded by a uniform density of negative charge up to a radius $R$. The atom as a whole is neutral. For this model,what is the electric field at a distance $r$ from the nucleus?
