Important Questions on Electric Charges and Fields



Let be the uniform surface charge density of two infinite thin plane sheets shown in figure. Then the electric fields in three different region and

Two non-conducting spheres of radii and and carrying uniform volume charge densities and , respectively, are placed such that they partially overlap, as shown in the figure. At all points in the overlapping region,

As shown in the figure, a point charge is placed at the centre of conducting spherical shell of inner radius and outer radius . The electric field due to charge in three different regions is given by :

A solid metal sphere of radius having charge is enclosed inside the concentric spherical shell of inner radius and outer radius as shown in the figure. The approximate variation of electric field , as a function of distance , from centre , is given by:










Using Gauss law, derive expression for electric field due to a spherical shell of uniform charge distribution and radius at a point lying at a distance from the centre of shell, such that .

In the figure, a very large plane sheet of positive charge is shown. and are two points at distance and from the charge distribution. If is the surface charge density, then the magnitude of electric fields and at and respectively are
