JEE Mains · Physics · STD 12 - 2. Electric potential and capacitance
As shown in the figure, a point charge \(Q\) is placed at the centre of conducting spherical shell of inner radius a and outer radius \(b\). The electric field due to charge \(Q\) in three different regions I, II and III is given by: \(( I : r < a , II : a < r < b , III : r > b )\)

- A \(E _{ I }=0, E _{ II }=0, E _{ III } \neq 0\)
- B \(E _{ I } \neq 0, E _{ II }=0, E _{ III } \neq 0\)
- C \(E _{ I } \neq 0, E _{ II }=0, E _{ III }=0\)
