Question

Statement – I : Electric field is discontinuous across the surface of a spherical charged

shell.

Statement – II : Electric potential is continuous across the surface of a spherical charged

shell.

a) Statement – I and Statement – II are true.

b) Statement – I is true and Statement – II is false.

c) Statement – I is false and Statement – II is true.

d) Statement – I and Statement – II are false. ​

Answer 1

Answer:

a)both the statements are correct

Explanation:

1. Statement l is correct because the magnitude of the electric field due to a charged spherical shell is 0 inside it , max.on its surface and then keeps decreasing as 1/r².
2. Statement ll is correct because the electric field inside the sphere is 0, so there is no force therefore no work done and the potential is constant. This means tht electric potential is continuous across the shell.
