$A$ long, hollow conducting cylinder is kept coaxially inside another long, hollow conducting cylinder of larger radius. Both the cylinders are initially electrically neutral. Then

Consider a long uniformly charged cylinder having constant volume charge density $\rho$ and radius $R$. $A$ Gaussian surface is in the form of a cylinder of radius $r$ such that the vertical axis of both cylinders coincide. For a point inside the cylinder $(r < R)$,the electric field is directly proportional to

An electron is projected towards a metal plate with a surface charge density $\sigma = -2 \times 10^{-6} \ C/m^2$. If the electron strikes the plate with zero velocity,calculate the distance $d$ between the electron gun and the plate in terms of its initial kinetic energy $E_k$.

Let $P(r) = \frac{Q}{\pi R^4} r$ be the charge density distribution for a solid sphere of radius $R$ and total charge $Q$. For a point $P$ inside the sphere at distance $r_1$ from the centre of the sphere,the magnitude of the electric field is

$A$ solid sphere of radius $r_1=1 \text{ cm}$ carries charge distributed uniformly over it with density $\rho_1=-3 \text{ C/cm}^3$. It is surrounded by a concentric spherical shell of radius $r_2=2 \text{ cm}$ carrying uniform charge density $\rho_2=0.5 \text{ C/cm}^3$. If $E_d$ denotes the magnitude of the electric field at distance $d$ from the common centre of the spheres,then
