Question

Consider a thick spherical conducting shell with NO net charge. A point charge of +Q is placed at its center as shown in the figure.

True or False : The electric field at e is non-zero.
True or False : The electric field at c is zero.
True or False : The inner surface of the shell carries a charge of -Q.
True or False : The electric field at a is zero.

Consider a thick spherical conducting shell with NO net charge. A point charge of +Q is placed at its center as shown in the figure. True or False : The electric field at e is non-zero. True or False : The electric field at c is zero. True or False : The inner surface of the shell carries a charge of -Q. True or False : The electric field at a is zero.

Explanation / Answer

1)

False, the electric field is not zero at point e.

2)

True , The electric field in side the conductor is zero.

3)

T rue,Due to electric induction, the innersurface of the shell carries -Q

4)

The electricfield at point a is

E = kQ / ( distance from center to the point a )^2

False.
