As shown in the figure,a cuboid lies in a region with an electric field $\vec{E} = 2x^2 \hat{i} - 4y \hat{j} + 6 \hat{k} \; N/C$. The magnitude of the charge within the cuboid is $n \varepsilon_0 \; C$. The value of $n$ is $............$ (if the dimensions of the cuboid are $1 \times 2 \times 3 \; m^3$)

Consider a sphere of radius $R$ with charge density distributed as:
$\rho(r) = kr$ for $r \leq R$
$\rho(r) = 0$ for $r > R$
$(a)$ Find the electric field at all points $r$.
$(b)$ Suppose the total charge on the sphere is $2e$ where $e$ is the elementary charge. Where can two protons be embedded such that the force on each of them is zero? Assume that the introduction of the protons does not alter the charge distribution.

The expression for electric field intensity at a point outside a uniformly charged thin plane sheet is (where $d$ is the distance of the point from the plane sheet):

This question has Statement-$1$ and Statement-$2$. Of the four choices given after the statements,choose the one that best describes the two statements.
An insulating solid sphere of radius $R$ has a uniformly positive charge density $\rho$. As a result of this uniform charge distribution,there is a finite value of electric potential at the centre of the sphere,at the surface of the sphere,and also at a point outside the sphere. The electric potential at infinity is zero.
Statement-$1$: When a charge $q$ is taken from the centre to the surface of the sphere,its potential energy changes by $\frac{q \rho R^2}{6 \epsilon_0}$.
Statement-$2$: The electric field at a distance $r (r < R)$ from the centre of the sphere is $\frac{\rho r}{3 \epsilon_0}$.

Charges are uniformly spread on the surface of a conducting sphere. The electric field from the centre of the sphere to a point outside the sphere varies with distance $r$ from the centre as:
