Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) A,B,C are true

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Inside a charged hollow, sphere electric field is constant. Now, dV=-E→·dr→ therefore, dV=0 hence V is constant and not zero. Potential difference is defined as the work done in moving per unit charge in moving it from one point to other. Therefore, work done in…
