Shown in the figure are two point charges $+Q$ and $-Q$ inside the cavity of a spherical shell. The charges are kept near the surface of the cavity on opposite sides of the centre of the shell. If $\sigma_1$ is the surface charge density on the inner surface and $Q_1$ is the net charge on it,and $\sigma_2$ is the surface charge density on the outer surface and $Q_2$ is the net charge on it,then:

$A$ dipole consisting of two charges $\pm q$ separated by a distance $2a$ is placed with its centre at a distance $D$ from the center of a grounded conducting sphere of radius $R$ $(D \gg a)$. When the dipole moment vector is perpendicular to the line joining the two centres (those of the dipole and sphere),the total charge induced on the sphere is:

Three identical uncharged metal spheres are at the vertices of an equilateral triangle. One at a time,a small sphere is connected by a conducting wire with a large metal sphere that is charged. The center of the large sphere is on the straight line perpendicular to the plane of the equilateral triangle and passing through its center (see figure). As a result,the first small sphere acquires charge $q_1$ and the second acquires charge $q_2$ $(q_2 < q_1)$. The charge that the third sphere $q_3$ will acquire is (Assume $l >> R$,$l >> r$,$d >> R$,$d >> r$):

$A$ spherical conductor of radius $2 \, m$ is charged to a potential of $120 \, V$. It is now placed inside another hollow spherical conductor of radius $6 \, m$. Calculate the potential to which the bigger sphere would be raised. (in $, V$)

$A$ hollow conducting sphere is placed in an electric field produced by a point charge placed at $P$ as shown in the figure. Let $V_A, V_B$,and $V_C$ be the potentials at points $A, B$,and $C$ respectively,where $A$ and $B$ are on the surface of the sphere and $C$ is inside the sphere. Then:
