Important Questions on Electric Flux and Gauss's Law
Consider two thin uniformly charged concentric shells of radii and having charges and respectively, as shown. Three points and are marked at distances and respectively from their common centre. If and are magnitudes of the electric fields at points and respectively, then,

An infinitely long wire is kept along -axis from to , having uniform linear charge density . The electric field at the point will be,


Two large conducting thin plates are placed parallel to each other. They carry the charges as shown. The variation of magnitude of electric field in space due to this system is best given by,

A positively charged sphere of radius carries a volume charge density (see figure). A spherical cavity of radius is then scooped out and left empty, as shown. is the centre of the sphere and is the centre of the cavity. What is the direction and magnitude of the electric field at point ?


The figure shows, in cross-section, two solid spheres with uniformly distributed charge throughout their volumes. Each has a radius . The point lies on a line connecting the centres of the spheres, at a radial distance from the centre of the sphere . If the net electric field at a point is zero, what is the ratio of the total charges?
