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?
$0\;N/C$
$\frac{2 \lambda}{\pi \epsilon_{0} \mathrm{R}} \mathrm{N} / \mathrm{C}$
$\frac{\lambda}{\pi \mathrm{e}_{0} \mathrm{R}} \mathrm{N} / \mathrm{C}$
$\frac{\lambda}{2 \pi \epsilon_{0} R} \mathrm{N} / \mathrm{C}$
Obtain the expression of electric field at any point by continuous distribution of charge on a $(i)$ line $(ii)$ surface $(iii)$ volume.
Find the force experienced by the semicircular rod charged with a charge $q$, placed as shown in figure. Radius of the wire is $R$ and the line of charge with linear charge density $\lambda $ is passing through its centre and perpendicular to the plane of wire.
Consider a sphere of radius $R$ with charge density distributed as :
$\rho(r) =k r$, $r \leq R $
$=0$ for $r> R$.
$(a)$ Find the electric field at all points $r$.
$(b)$ Suppose the total charge on the sphere is $2e$ where e is the electron charge. Where can two protons be embedded such that the force on each of them is zero. Assume that the introduction of the proton does not alter the negative charge distribution.
Let $\rho (r)\, = \frac{Q}{{\pi {R^4}}}\,r$ be the volume 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
A sphere of radius $R$ has a uniform distribution of electric charge in its volume. At a distance $x$ from its centre, for $x < R$, the electric field is directly proportional to
