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")
