Question

A spherical shell is shown in figure. What is the electric field inside the shell?

• A. $\frac{1}{4\pi\varepsilon_{0}} \frac{q}{R^{2}}$
• B. $\frac{1}{4\pi\varepsilon_{0}} \frac{q}{r^{2}}$
• C. Zero
• D. $\frac{1}{4\pi\varepsilon_{0}} \frac{q}{(r+R)^{2}}$

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

Zero

Answer 2

Inside the spherical shell the electric field is zero as there is no charged particle reside inside the shell.
