A metallic sphere of radius R carrying a charge q is kept at certain distance from another metallic sphere of radius \(\mathrm{R} / 4\) carrying a charge Q . What is the electric flux at any point inside the metallic sphere of radius R due to the sphere of radius \(\mathrm{R} / 4\) ?

  1. A \(\frac{Q}{\varepsilon_0}-\frac{q}{\varepsilon_0}\)
  2. B Zero
  3. C \(\frac{\mathrm{q}}{\varepsilon_0}-\frac{\mathrm{Q}}{\varepsilon_0}\)
  4. D \(\frac{Q}{\varepsilon_0}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) Zero

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Since spheres are electrostatically shielded from each other, \(\phi=0\).
