An electron is moving under the influence of the electric field of a uniformly charged infinite plane sheet $S$ having surface charge density $+\sigma$. The electron at $t=0$ is at a distance of $1 \mathrm{~m}$ from $S$ and has a speed of $1 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}$. The maximum value of $\sigma$ if the electron strikes $S$ at $t=1 \mathrm{~s}$ is $\alpha\left[\frac{\mathrm{m} \in_0}{\mathrm{e}}\right] \frac{\mathrm{C}}{\mathrm{m}^2}$ the value of $\alpha$ is

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?

Consider a metal sphere of radius $R$ that is cut in two parts along a plane whose minimum distance from the sphere's centre is $h$. Sphere is uniformly charged by a total electric charge $Q$. The minimum force necessary to hold the two parts of the sphere together, is
