1. The document provides a 5 question, 15 mark multiple choice exam on electrostatics. The questions cover topics like the electric potential outside a charged hollow metallic sphere, the electric flux through the surface of a cone, the electric field inside a solid sphere with a non-uniform charge density, the effect of touching conducting spheres with equal charges together, and calculating the electric flux through a circular disc. 2. The questions have between 2-5 marks each and cover fundamental concepts in electrostatics like electric potential, electric field, and electric flux. 3. The document is assessing understanding of key ideas in electrostatics through multiple choice questions with varying difficulty.
