Shown in the figure is a shell made of a conductor. It has inner radius $a$ and outer radius $b$,and carries a total charge $Q$. At its centre is a dipole $\vec{P}$ as shown. In this case,

  • A
    Surface charge density on the inner surface of the shell is zero everywhere.
  • B
    Electric field outside the shell is the same as that of a point charge $Q$ at the centre of the shell.
  • C
    Surface charge density on the inner surface is uniform and equal to $\frac{(Q/2)}{4\pi a^2}$.
  • D
    Surface charge density on the outer surface depends on $|\vec{P}|$.

$A$ charge is kept at the central point $P$ of a cylindrical region. The two edges subtend a half-angle $\theta$ at $P$, as shown in the figure. When $\theta=30^{\circ}$, then the electric flux through the curved surface of the cylinder is $\Phi$. If $\theta=60^{\circ}$, then the electric flux through the curved surface becomes $\Phi / \sqrt{n}$, where the value of $n$ is. . . . . . .
