An arbitrarily shaped hollow conductor encloses a charge q and is surrounded by a thick conducting spherical shell as shown in figure. Four different region (1, 2, 3 and 4) are indicated in the diagram. Choose the correct statement. (A)The electric field in region-2 is uniform (B)The surface charge density in inner wall of the shell is uniform (C)The surface charge density on the outer surfaceof the shell is always uniform irrespective of position of charge q in region-1 (D)All of these

Consider a thin spherical shell of radius R consisting of uniform surface charge density sigma . The electric field at a point of distance x from its centre and outside the shell is

Why do we always get electric field intensity near a charged metallic surface of magnitude twice of the electric field intensity near a thin sheet of charge with same surface charge density as of metal plate?

Assertion (A): If two spherical conductors of different radii have the same surface charge densities, then their electric field intensities will be equal. Reason (R ): Surface charge density =("Total charge")/("area")
