Question
The electric field at a distance 3R/2 from the centre of a charged conducting spherical shell of radius R is E. The electric field at a distance R/2 from the centre of the sphere is
-
zero
-
E
-
E/2
-
E/3
Solution
A.
zero
The radius of a spherical shell is R. Because inside the conducting charge sphere, an electric field is zero. So, the electric field at a distance R/2 from the centre of the sphere will be zero.
