Assertion: $A$ metallic shield in the form of a hollow shell may be built to block an electric field.
Reason: In a hollow spherical shield,the electric field inside it is zero at every point.

Consider an initially neutral hollow conducting spherical shell with inner radius $r$ and outer radius $2r$. $A$ point charge $+Q$ is now placed inside the shell at a distance $r/2$ from the centre. The shell is then grounded by connecting the outer surface to the earth. $P$ is an external point at a distance $2r$ from the point charge $+Q$ on the line passing through the centre and the point charge $+Q$ as shown in the figure. The magnitude of the force on a test charge $+q$ placed at $P$ will be

The metal plate on the left in the figure carries a charge of $+q$. The metal plate on the right has a charge of $-2q$. What charge will flow through the switch $S$ when it is closed,if the central plate is initially neutral?

$A$ and $B$ are two identical spheres. The charges on them are $7\,\mu C$ and $1\,\mu C$ respectively. Now,both are connected by a wire. Calculate the flow of charge from $A$ to $B$ in $\mu C$.

Which of the following statements are correct?
$A$. Inside the conductor, the electrostatic field is zero.
$B$. Electric field at the surface of a charged conductor does not depend on its surface charge density.
$C$. The interior of a charged conductor can have no excess charge in the static situation.
$D$. At the surface of a charged conductor, the electrostatic field must be normal to the surface at every point.
$E$. The electrostatic potential is zero everywhere inside a charged conductor.
