A thin disc of radius \({b}=2{a}\) has a concentric hole of radius '\(a\)' in it (see figure). It carries a uniform surface charge \('\sigma'\) on it. If the electric field on its axis at height \({'h'}{(h}\ll{a)}\) from its centre is given as:
  

1. \(\frac{\sigma h}{2a~\varepsilon}\)
2. \(\frac{\sigma h}{4a~\varepsilon_0}\)

A wire, of length \((L=20~\text{cm}),\) is bent into a semicircular arc. If the two equal halves, of the area, were each to be uniformly charged with charges \({\pm Q,\left[|Q|=10^3 \varepsilon_0\right.}~\text C,\) where \(\varepsilon_0\) is the permittivity (in \(\text{S.I}\) units) of free space] the net electric field at the centre \({O}\) of the semicircular area would be:

1. \({(50\times10^3~\text{N/C})~\hat{j}}\)
2. \({(50\times10^3~\text{N/C})~\hat{i}}\)

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

                          

1. surface charge density on the inner surface is uniform and equal to \(\frac{(Q/2)}{4\pi a^2}\)
2. surface charge density on the outer surface depends on \(|\vec{p}|\)
3. surface charge density on the inner surface of the shell is zero everywhere
4. the electric field outside the shell is the same as that of a point charge at the centre of the shell
