Two small conductors are given charges and , respectively. Now they are placed inside a hollow metallic conductor () carrying a charge Q. If all the three conductors are connected by conducting wires as shown, the charges on will be respectively



Important Questions on Electrostatics
A positively charged body has been brought near a neutral brass sphere mounted on a glass stand as shown in the figure. The potential of will be:

The amount of work done by electric field in joules in carrying a charge along the closed path PQRSP between the oppositely charged metal plates is (where, is electric field between the plates)

Figure shows a closed surface which intersects a conducting sphere. If a positive charge is placed at the point P, the flux of the electric field through the closed surface:

An ellipsoidal cavity is carved within a perfect conductor. A positive charge is placed at the centre of the cavity. The points are on the cavity surface as shown in the figure.
The figure shows the current in a single-loop circuit with a battery and resistance (and wires of negligible resistance). Then find the order of following at the point and .
(a) The magnitude of the current,
(b) The electric potential, and
(c) The electric potential energy of the charge carriers (electron), the greatest first.
