Shown in the figure are two point charges $+Q$ and $-Q$ inside the cavity of a spherical shell. The charges are kept near the surface of the cavity on opposite sides of the centre of the shell. If $\sigma _1$ is the surface charge on the inner surface and $Q_1$ net charge on it and $\sigma _2$ the surface charge on the outer surface and $Q_2$ net charge on it then
$\begin{array}{l}
{\sigma _1}\, \ne \,0,\,\,{Q_1}\, = \,0\\
{\sigma _2}\, = \,0,\,\,{Q_2}\, = \,0
\end{array}$
$\begin{array}{l}
{\sigma _1}\, \ne \,0,\,\,{Q_1}\, = \,0\\
{\sigma _2}\, \ne \,0,\,\,{Q_2}\, = \,0
\end{array}$
$\begin{array}{l}
{\sigma _1}\, = \,0,\,\,{Q_1}\, = \,0\\
{\sigma _2}\, = \,0,\,\,{Q_2}\, = \,0
\end{array}$
$\begin{array}{l}
{\sigma _1}\, \ne \,0,\,\,{Q_1}\, \ne \,0\\
{\sigma _2}\, \ne \,0,\,\,{Q_2}\, \ne \,0
\end{array}$
If the total charge enclosed by a surface is zero, does it imply that the electric field everywhere on the surface is zero ? Conversely, if the electric field everywhere on a surface is zero, does it imply that net charge inside is zero.
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

Let $P\left( r \right) = \frac{Q}{{\pi {R^4}}}r$ be the charge density distribution for a solid sphere of radius $R$ and total charge $Q$. For a point $P$ inside the sphere at distance $r_1$ from the centre of the sphere, the magnitude of electric field is
The electric field due to a uniformly charged sphere of radius $R$ as a function of the distance $r$ from its centre is represented graphically by
