$A$ and $B$ are two concentric conducting spherical shells. $A$ is given a positive charge $+Q$ while $B$ is earthed. Then:

Assertion: $A$ metallic shield in the form of a hollow shell may be built to block an electric field.
Reason: In a hollow spherical shield,the electric field inside it is zero at every point.

"The electric field inside the hollow region of a conductor in a uniform electric field is zero". Explain.

The charges on two plates of a $10\,\mu F$ capacitor are $5\,\mu C$ and $15\,\mu C$. The potential difference across the capacitor plates is........$V$.

Shown in the figure are two point charges $+Q$ and $-Q$ inside the cavity of a spherical shell. The charges are kept near the surface of the cavity on opposite sides of the centre of the shell. If $\sigma_1$ is the surface charge density on the inner surface and $Q_1$ is the net charge on it,and $\sigma_2$ is the surface charge density on the outer surface and $Q_2$ is the net charge on it,then:
