A thin spherical shell has a radius of 0.5 m carries a charge of 0.2μC. Calculate the intensity at point

(i) inside the shell,

HARD
Assertion: A spark occurs sometimes when an electric iron is switched off.

Reason: The sparking is due to large self-induced emf in the circuit, during make.
MEDIUM
A metallic shell has a point charge q kept inside its cavity. Which one of the following diagrams correctly represents the electric lines of forces?
EASY

A solid conducting sphere of radius a is surrounded by a thin uncharged concentric conducting shell of radius 2a. A point charge q is placed at a distance 4a from common centre of conducting sphere and shell. The inner sphere is then grounded.
