Marks: +1, -0
Two large charged plane sheets of charge densities σ and −2σC∕m2 are arranged vertically with a separation of d between them. Deduce expressions for the electric field at points
(i) to the left of the first sheet, (ii) to the right of the second sheet, and (iii) between the two sheets.
OR
A spherical conducting shell of inner radius r1 and outer radius r2 has a charge Q.
(a) A charge q is placed at the centre of the shell. Find out the surface charge density on the inner and outer surfaces of the shell.
(b) Is the electric field inside a cavity (with no charge) zero-independent of the fact whether the shell is spherical or not? Explain.
Solution:
Diagram
Deducing electric field expression
(i) To the left of first sheet
(ii) To the right of second sheet
(iii) Between the two sheets
Diagram :

Electric field in the region left of first sheet
EI=E1+E2
EI=σε0−σ2ε0
EI=+σ2ε0
It is towards right,
Electric field in the region to the right of second sheet
EII=σ2ε0−σε0
EII=−σ2ε0
It is towards left,
Electric field between the two sheets
EIII =EI+EII
EIII =σε0+σ2ε0
EIII =3σ2ε0
Electric field is towards the right.
OR
Diagram
Finding the surface charge density in the inner and outer surface of the shell
Electric field in the cavity
Diagram:

The surface charge density on inner surface of the shell is σ1=−q4πr12
The surface charge density on outer shell is
σ2=−Q+q4πr22
(b) Consider a Gaussian surface inside the shell, net flux is zero since qnet =0. According to Gauss's law it is independent of shape and size of shell.
