Question

The electric field inside a spherical shell of uniform surface charge density is
(a) zero.
(b) constant, less than zero.
(c) directly proportional to the distance from the centre.
(d) none of the these

Answer 1

Answer:

the answer is zero

Explanation:

the answer is zero

Answer 2

The electric field inside a spherical shell of uniform surface charge density is zero. Option(a) is the correct answer.

• According to the gauss law, in a closed surface, flux is directly proportional to the charge enclosed in the surface.
• In the spherical shell, the charge is distributed uniformly which means that all charge of the shell is present on the outer surface.
• Therefore, by gauss law, the electric field inside the spherical shell of uniform surface charge density is zero.
