Two nonconducting solid spheres of radii and having uniform volume charge densities and , respectively, touch each other. The net electric field at a distance from the centre of the smaller sphere, along the line joining the centre of the spheres, is zero. The ratio can be:


Important Questions on Electric Charges and Fields

Consider a uniform spherical charge distribution of radius centred at the origin . In this distribution, a spherical cavity of radius , centred at with distance (see figure) is made. If the electric field inside the cavity at position is , then the correct statement(s) is(are)

The figures below depict two situations in which two infinitely long static line charges of constant positive line charge density are kept parallel to each other. In their resulting electric field, point charges and are kept in equilibrium between them. The point charges are confined to move in the -direction only. If they are given a small displacement about their equilibrium positions, then the correct statement(s) is (are):

A cubical region of side a has its centre at the origin. It encloses three fixed point charges, at at at . Choose the correct option(s).



An infinitely long uniform line charge distribution of charge per unit length lies parallel to the -axis in the plane at (see figure). If the magnitude of the flux of the electric field through the rectangular surface lying in the plane with the centre at the origin is ( is permittivity of free space ), then the value of is ____.
