What is electrostatic shielding.?
→ Electrostatic shielding or screening is the phenomenon of protecting certain region of space from external electric field.
» We know that the electric field inside a conductor is zero. Therefore , to protect delicate instruments from external electric fields we enclose them in hollow conductors called "Faraday cages" .
→ During , a thunderstorm eccompanied why lightning , it is safer to be inside a bus or a car than to be in the open ground because the metallic body of the bus or car provides electrostatic shielding.
» An earthed conductor can also act as against the electric field.
