Question

A charged body has an electric flux F associated with it. Now if the body is placed inside a conducting shell then the electric flux outside the shell is?

Please explain answer

Answer 1

electric flux outside the shell is remain same because electric field work normally outward and on the body no charge acts because body is inside the shell.

Answer 2

Answer: A charged body has an electric flux F associated with it. Now if the body is placed inside a conducting shell then the electric flux outside the shell is equal to F.

Explanation:

Let the charge body be positively charged. Now the body is placed inside the conducting shell. Due to negative induction being induced, the container is conducting. As a result positive induction is induced due to induction outside the container.
