ELECTRIC FIELD
LEVEL -01
The electric field inside a spherical shell of uniform
surface charge density is
[CPMT 1982; MP PET 1994; RPET 2000)
(1) Zero
(2) Constant, less than zero
(3) Directly proportional to the distance from the
centre
(4) None of the above
​

Answer 1

Answer:

The electric field inside a spherical shell of uniform surface charge density is

1). ZERO.

Because according to Gauss law, the charge resides on the outer surface of the spherical conductor ( skin effect ).
