"The radius of curvature of an electrode determines the magnitude of E just outside of it. A sharp point has a tiny radius of curvature, a flat surface has an infinite radius."
Could someone tell me what these sentences above mean please?
Also, is electric field stronger just outside a curved or a flat surface?

A spherical shell of radius 1m and a flat, square sheet that is 1m long on each edge both have a surface charge density of 1 C/m2. At a point 1mm outside the sphere or 1mm away from the surface of the sheet, how do the electric field strengths compare? 1) The field of the sphere is stronger 2)The field strengths are equal 3) The field of the sheet is stronger
In the figure a small circular hole of radius R = 2.23 cm has been cut in the middle of an infinite, flat, nonconducting surface that has a uniform charge density σ = 4.23 pC/m2. A zaxis, with its origin at the hole's center, is perpendicular to the surface. What is the magnitude of the electric field at point P at z = 2.79 cm?

Select Tru or False. 1. A conducting sphere with charge Q at equilibrium has zero E field inside it. The E field outside is the same as that of a point charge Q, E=keQ/r2. The potential outside it is the same as that of a point charge Q. V= keQ/r. (r is the distance to the center). The potential inside the conducting sphere is equal to the potential at its surface. V= keQ/R. (R is the radius of the sphere)...
