Let a total charge $2Q$ be distributed in a sphere of radius $R$,with the charge density given by $\rho(r) = kr$,where $r$ is the distance from the centre. Two charges $A$ and $B$,of $-Q$ each,are placed on diametrically opposite points,at equal distance $a$ from the centre. If $A$ and $B$ do not experience any force,then:

  • A
    $a = \frac{R}{2^{1/4}}$
  • B
    $a = 2^{-1/4}R$
  • C
    $a = 8^{-1/4}R$
  • D
    $a = R/\sqrt{3}$

Give the answer for questions $1, 2,$ and $3.$

The electric field at a distance of $20 \ cm$ from the center of a uniformly charged dielectric sphere of radius $R = 10 \ cm$ is $100 \ V/m$. What will be the electric field $E$ at a distance of $3 \ cm$ from the center of the sphere (in $V/m$)?

The region between two concentric spheres of radii '$a$' and '$b$' (see figure) has a volume charge density $\rho = \frac{A}{r}$,where $A$ is a constant and $r$ is the distance from the centre. At the centre of the spheres is a point charge $Q$. The value of $A$ such that the electric field in the region between the spheres is constant,is:
