$(a)$ 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.

$A$ uniformly charged thin spherical shell of radius '$R$' has a uniform surface charge density '$\sigma$'. It is made of two identical hemispherical shells held together by pressing them with a force '$F$' as shown. '$F$' is proportional to [$\epsilon_0$ = permittivity of free space].

Two concentric shells of radii $R$ and $3R$ are placed as shown in the figure. The outer shell carries a charge $Q$. The inner shell is grounded. Find the electric field at point $P$,which is at a distance $2R$ from the center.

$A$ large metal plate has a surface charge density of $8.85 \times 10^{-6} \ C \ m^{-2}$. An electron having initial kinetic energy of $8 \times 10^{-17} \ J$ is moving towards the center of the plate. If the electron stops just before reaching the plate,then the initial distance between the electron and the plate is [Take $\epsilon_{0} = 8.85 \times 10^{-12} \ C^{2} \ N^{-1} \ m^{-2}$]
