An empty thick conducting shell of inner radius $a$ and outer radius $b$ is shown in the figure. If it is observed that the inner face of the shell carries a uniform charge density $-\sigma$ and the outer surface carries a uniform charge density $\sigma'$,and a point charge $q_A$ is placed at the center of the shell,then choose the correct statement$(s)$.

  • A
    The charge $q_A$ must be positive.
  • B
    The charge $q_A$ must be negative.
  • C
    The magnitude of charge $q_A$ must be $4\pi \sigma a^2$.
  • D
    $A$ and $C$ both.

An empty thick conducting shell of inner radius $a$ and outer radius $b$ is shown in the figure. It is observed that the inner face of the shell carries a uniform charge density $-\sigma$ and the outer surface carries a uniform charge density $+\sigma$. If a point charge $q_A$ is placed at the center and another point charge $q_B$ is placed at a distance $c (> b)$ from the center of the shell,then choose the correct statement.

Two identical non-conducting thin hemispherical shells,each of radius $R$,are brought into contact to form a complete sphere. If a total charge $Q$ is uniformly distributed on them,what is the minimum force $F$ required to hold them together?

$A$ uniformly charged thin spherical shell of radius $R$ carries a uniform surface charge density of $\sigma$ per unit area. It is made of two hemispherical shells, held together by pressing them with force $F$ (see figure). $F$ is proportional to

Two identical balls having like charges and placed at a certain distance apart repel each other with a certain force. They are brought in contact and then moved apart to a distance equal to half their initial separation. The force of repulsion between them increases $4.5$ times in comparison with the initial value. The ratio of the initial charges of the balls is
