Two spherical conductors $A$ and $B$ of radii $1\, mm$ and $2\, mm$ are placed at a distance of $5\, cm$ from each other. They carry equal charges. If the spheres are connected by a conducting wire,they reach an equilibrium state. The ratio of the magnitudes of the electric fields at the surfaces of spheres $A$ and $B$ is ........

  • A
    $4 : 1$
  • B
    $1 : 2$

For the situation shown in the figure,mark the correct statement. $A$ point charge $q$ is placed at a distance $d$ from the surface of a neutral hollow conductor of radius $R$.

$A$ positive point charge $q$ is placed at a distance $2R$ from the surface of a metallic shell of radius $R$. The electric field at the centre of the shell due to the induced charge has a magnitude of:

Consider an initially neutral hollow conducting spherical shell with inner radius $r$ and outer radius $2r$. $A$ point charge $+Q$ is now placed inside the shell at a distance $r/2$ from the centre. The shell is then grounded by connecting the outer surface to the earth. $P$ is an external point at a distance $2r$ from the point charge $+Q$ on the line passing through the centre and the point charge $+Q$ as shown in the figure. The magnitude of the force on a test charge $+q$ placed at $P$ will be

An empty thick conducting shell of inner radius $a$ and outer radius $b$ is shown in the figure. If it is observed that the inner face of the shell carries a uniform charge density $-\sigma$ and the outer surface carries a uniform charge density $\sigma'$,if the outer surface of the shell is earthed,then identify the correct statement$(s)$.

The metal plate on the left in the figure carries a charge of $+q$. The metal plate on the right has a charge of $-2q$. What charge will flow through the switch $S$ when it is closed,if the central plate is initially neutral?
