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

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
