A point charge is kept at the centre of a metallic insulated spherical shell. Then :

  1. A electric field outside the shell is zero
  2. B electric field inside the shell is zero
  3. C net induced charge on the shell is zero
  4. D electric potential inside the shell is zero
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) net induced charge on the shell is zero

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The point charge induces an equal and opposite charge on the inner surface ( \(-q\) ) and the outer surface ( \(+q\) ) of the shell. Since the shell is neutral and insulated, the sum of these charges remains zero due to the law of conservation of charge. C) net induced charge on…
