$(a)$ Show that the normal component of electrostatic field has a discontinuity from one side of a charged surface to another given by

$\left( E _{2}- E _{1}\right) \cdot \hat{ n }=\frac{\sigma}{\varepsilon_{0}}$

where $\hat{ n }$ is a unit vector normal to the surface at a point and $\sigma$ is the surface charge density at that point. (The direction of $\hat { n }$ is from side $1$ to side $2 .$ ) Hence, show that just outside a conductor, the electric field is $\sigma \hat{ n } / \varepsilon_{0}$

$(b)$ Show that the tangential component of electrostatic field is continuous from one side of a charged surface to another.
