Three identical metal plates with large surface areas are kept parallel to each other as shown in the figure. The leftmost plate $A$ is given a charge $Q$ and the rightmost plate $C$ is given a charge $-2Q$. The middle plate $B$ is neutral. Then the charge appearing on the outer surface $S$ of the plate $C$ is:

  • A
    $-Q/2$
  • B
    $-Q$
  • C
    $+Q$
  • D
    $+2Q$

Three identical metal plates with large surface areas are kept parallel to each other as shown in the figure. The leftmost plate is given a charge $Q$,the rightmost a charge $-2Q$,and the middle one remains neutral. Find the charge appearing on the outer surface of the rightmost plate.

Two spherical hollow spheres of radii $R_1$ and $R_2$ are charged with the same charge $Q$. If $\sigma_1$ and $\sigma_2$ are their respective surface charge densities, then the ratio $\sigma_1 : \sigma_2$ is:

Charge is distributed within a sphere of radius $R$ with a volume charge density $\rho (r) = \frac{A}{r^2} e^{-2r/a}$,where $A$ and $a$ are constants. If $Q$ is the total charge of this charge distribution,the radius $R$ is:
