Electrostatics Question 326
Question: The electric field inside a spherical shell of uniform surface charge density is [CPMT 1982; MP PET 1994; RPET 2000]
Options:
A) Zero
B) Constant, less than zero
C) Directly proportional to the distance from the centre
D) None of the above
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: A
Solution:
All charge resides on the outer surface so that according to Gauss law, electric field inside a shell is zero.
