An irregular conductor carries a surface charge density of -6.75 C/m2 at and in the vicinity of a point P on the surface. An electron is released just above P outside the conductor.
 
  What are the magnitude and direction of its acceleration the instant after it is released? (0 = 8.85  10-12 C2/N  m2, e = 1.60  10-19 C, mel = 9.11  10-31 kg)

Question 2

A neutral hollow spherical conducting shell of inner radius 1.00 cm and outer radius 3.00 cm has a +2.00-C point charge placed at its center. Find the surface charge density
  (a) on the inner surface of the shell.
 
  (b) on the outer surface of the shell.

Though Candida and Aspergillus species are the most common fungal pathogens causing invasive fungal disease in the immunocompromised, infections due to previously uncommon hyaline and dematiaceous filamentous fungi are occurring more often today. Rare fungal infections, once accurately diagnosed, may require surgical debridement, immunotherapy, and newer antifungals used singly or in combination with older antifungals, on a case-by-case basis.
