The electric field at $20 \,cm$ from the centre of a uniformly charged non-conducting sphere of radius $10 \,cm$ is $E$. Then at a distance $5 \,cm$ from the centre it will be
$16 E$
$4 E$
$2 E$
Zero
The dimensions of an atom are of the order of an Angstrom. Thus there must be large electric fields between the protons and electrons. Why, then is the electrostatic field inside a conductor zero ?
A thin infinite sheet charge and an infinite line charge of respective charge densities $+\sigma$ and $+\lambda$ are placed parallel at $5\,m$ distance from each other. Points $P$ and $Q$, are at $\frac{3}{\pi} m$ and $\frac{4}{\pi} m$ perpendicular distance from line charge towards sheet charge, respectively. $E_P$ and $E_Q$ are the magnitudes of resultant electric field intensities at point $P$ and $Q$, respectively. If $\frac{E_p}{E_Q}=\frac{4}{a}$ for $2|\sigma|=|\lambda|$. Then the value of $a$ is ...........
Two parallel infinite line charges with linear charge densities $+\lambda\; \mathrm{C} / \mathrm{m}$ and $-\lambda\; \mathrm{C} / \mathrm{m}$ are placed at a distance of $2 \mathrm{R}$ in free space. What is the electric field mid-way between the two line charges?
A hollow metal sphere of radius $R$ is uniformly charged. The electric field due to the sphere at a distance r from the centre
$\sigma$ is the uniform surface charge density of a thin spherical shell of radius $R$. The electric field at any point on the surface of the spherical shell is:
