D$< \sigma\,\,\,\, V\,\,\,\, < E$
d (d) The surface of the conductor is an equipotential surface since there is free flow of electrons within the conductor. Thus potential at $Q$ is the same as that at $ P$. That is ${V_P} = {V_Q} = V.$ The electric field $E$ at a point on the equipotential surface of the conductor is inversely proportional to the square of the radius of curvature $r$ at that point. That is $E \propto {r^{ - 2}}$
Since point $Q$ has a larger radius of curvature than that at point $P$, the electric field at $Q$ is less than that at $P$. That is ${E_Q} < {E_P} = E$

The escape speed of an electron launched from the surface of a glass sphere of diameter $1\ cm$ that has been charged to $10\ nC$ is $x \times 10^7\ m/sec$ . The value of $x$ is
Charges are placed on the vertices of a square as shown. Let $E$ be the electric field and $V$ the potential at the centre. If the charges on $A$ and $B$ are interchanged with those on $D$ and $C$ respectively, then
Consider a gravity free container as shown. System is initially at rest and electric potential in the regon is $V = (y^3+2)\ J/C$. A ball of charge $q$ and mass $m$ is released from rest from base starts to move up due to electric field and collides with the shaded face as shown.If its speed just after collision is $1.5\ m/s$ and time for which ball is in contact with shaded face is $0.1\ sec$, find external force required to hold the container fixed in its position during collision assuming ball exerts constant force on wall during entire span of collision.......$N$
