Which of the following statements is correct for a charged metallic shell?
- A The electric field intensity is zero inside the shell and decreases outside the shell as we move away from the shell.
- B The electric field intensity is uniform inside the shell and decreases outside the shell as we move away from its center.
- C The electric potential is zero inside the shell and decreases outside the shell as we move away from its center.
- D The electrostatic potential increases linearly with the distance from its center inside the shell.
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) The electric field intensity is zero inside the shell and decreases outside the shell as we move away from the shell.
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
The electric field intensity is zero inside the shell and decreases outside the shell as we move away from the shell. Inside the Shell: According to Gauss's Law, the electric field (E) inside a uniformly charged metallic shell is zero. Since the charge resides entirely on the…
