Consider the following statement about electric field intensity and electric potential.
A. The electric field intensity due to a charged spherical shell is inversely proportional to square of its radius.
B. The electric potential due to a point charge is inversely proportional to the distance between charge and the point.
- A Both A and B are incorrect
- B Only B is correct
- C Only A is correct
- D Both A and B are correct
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) Only B is correct
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Only B is true. As for statement A, it is not mentioned whether the point in outside or inside the shell, further statement A is true only for the point on the surface of the spherical shell.
