$(a)$ 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.

Let a total charge $2Q$ be distributed in a sphere of radius $R$, with the charge density given by $\rho(r) = kr$, where $r$ is the distance from the centre. Two charges $A$ and $B$, of $-Q$ each, are placed on diametrically opposite points, at equal distance, $a$, from the centre. If $A$ and $B$ do not experience any force, then

A charge $Q$ is uniformly distributed over a large square plate of copper. The electric  field at a point very close to the centre of the plane is $10\, V/m$. If the copper plate is  replaced by a plastic plate of the same geometrical dimensions and carrying the same  charge $Q$ uniformly distributed, then the electric field at the point $P$ will be......$V/m$

Obtain the expression of electric field at any point by continuous distribution of charge on a  $(i)$ line $(ii)$ surface $(iii)$ volume.
