A charge is uniformly distributed on the circumference of a disc, and the potential at its centre is \(5\) volt. If the charge was uniformly distributed on the surface of this disc, the potential at a point \(P\) on its axis, at a distance equal to the disc's radius from its centre, equals:
1. \(10\) V
2. \(5 \sqrt 2\) V
3. \(10 \sqrt 2\) V
4. \(10 (\sqrt {2} -1)\) V

A semi-circular wire carries a positive charge \(Q\) distributed uniformly over its circumference, and lies with its center at the origin and its ends on the x-axis, as shown in the figure. A single point charge is to be placed so that the net electric field due to the charge \(Q\) and the new charge \((q_1)\) is zero at the origin. Let the distance of \(q_1\) from O be \(r_1\). The potential at the origin is also zero. Which of the following is correct? 
  
\(1.~ r_{1}< \frac{r}{2} \\ 2.~ \frac{r}{2}<r_{1}< r \\ 3.~ r<r_{1}<\frac{3 r}{2}\\ 4.~ \frac{3 r}{2}<r_{1}\)

Two identical thin non-conducting spherical shells of radius \(r\) are charged uniformly with equal and opposite charges \(+Q,-Q\) and placed, so that their surfaces almost touch each other, externally (see figure). The electric fields at their centres are \(\vec E_A,\vec E_B\) while the potentials are \(V_A,V_B\) respectively. Then:
           
1. \(\vec E_A=\vec E_B,V_A=V_B\)
2. \(\vec E_A=-\vec E_B,V_A=V_B\)
3. \(\vec E_A=\vec E_B,V_A=-V_B\)
4. \(\vec E_A=-\vec E_B,V_A=-V_B\)
