Figure, shown above, shows three situations involving a charged particle and a uniformly charged spherical shell. The charges and radii of the shells are indicated in the figure. If and are the magnitudes of the forces on the particle due to the presence of the shell in situations and respectively then



Important Questions on Electrostatics

Two semicircular rings lying in same plane, of uniform linear charge density have radius and . They are joined using two straight uniformly charged wires of linear charge density and length as shown in figure. The magnitude of electric field at common centre of semi circular rings is




Figure above shows a closed Gaussian surface in the shape of a cube of edge length . There exists an electric field given by , where is in metres, in the region in which it lies. The net charge in coulombs enclosed by the cube is equal to
