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

Since the metallic shell is insulated, it cannot gain or lose total charge. While the point charge at the center will cause charges to redistribute—inducing a negative charge on the inner surface and an equal positive charge on the outer surface—the net sum of these induced…
