A solid sphere of radius $R$ has a charge $Q$ distributed in its volume with a charge density $\rho=\kappa r^a$, where $\kappa$ and $a$ are constants and $r$ is the distance from its centre. If the electric field at $r=\frac{R}{2}$ is $\frac{1}{8}$ times that at $r=R$, find the value of $a$.

An infinite line charge produces a field of $9 \times 10^4 \;N/C$ at a distance of $2\; cm$. Calculate the linear charge density in $\mu C / m$
A spherically symmetric charge distribution is considered with charge density varying as
$\rho(r)=\left\{\begin{array}{ll}\rho_{0}\left(\frac{3}{4}-\frac{r}{R}\right) & \text { for } r \leq R \\ \text { Zero } & \text { for } r>R\end{array}\right.$
Where, $r ( r < R )$ is the distance from the centre $O$ (as shown in figure). The electric field at point $P$ will be.
The electric field $\vec E = {E_0}y\hat j$ acts in the space in which a cylinder of radius $r$ and length $l$ is placed with its axis parallel to $y-$ axis. The charge inside the volume of cylinder is
Let $E_1(r), E_2(r)$ and $E_3(r)$ be the respective electric fields at a distance $r$ from a point charge $Q$, an infinitely long wire with constant linear charge density $\lambda$, and an infinite plane with uniform surface charge density $\sigma$. if $E_1\left(r_0\right)=E_2\left(r_0\right)=E_3\left(r_0\right)$ at a given distance $r_0$, then
The electric field at a distance $\frac{3R}{2}$ from the centre of a charged conducting spherical shell of radius $R$ is $E.$ The electric field at a distance $\frac{R}{2}$ from the centre of the sphere is
