$A$ positive charge $Q$ is placed on a conducting spherical shell with inner radius $R_1$ and outer radius $R_2$. $A$ particle with charge $q$ is placed at the center of the spherical cavity. The magnitude of the electric field at a point in the cavity,at a distance $r$ from the center,is

  • A
    zero
  • B
    $\frac{Q}{4 \pi \varepsilon_0 r^2}$
  • C
    $\frac{q}{4 \pi \varepsilon_0 r^2}$
  • D
    $\frac{(Q+q)}{4 \pi \varepsilon_0 r^2}$

$(a)$ Show that the normal component of the electrostatic field has a discontinuity from one side of a charged surface to another given by $(E_2 - E_1) \cdot \hat{n} = \frac{\sigma}{\varepsilon_0}$, where $\hat{n}$ is a unit vector normal to the surface at a point and $\sigma$ is the surface charge density at that point. (The direction of $\hat{n}$ is from side $1$ to side $2$.) Hence, show that just outside a conductor, the electric field is $\frac{\sigma \hat{n}}{\varepsilon_0}$. $(b)$ Show that the tangential component of the electrostatic field is continuous from one side of a charged surface to another.
