A charge of 50 μC is uniformly distributed on the surface of a thin spherical shell of radius 10 cm. The electric field at a point at a distance of 5 cm from the center of the shell is
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
The correct answer is Option (4) → Zero
By Gauss's Law, the electric field inside a uniformly charged spherical shell is zero.
Since the point lies at a distance of 5 cm from the center, which is inside the shell (radius 10 cm), the electric field is:
$E = 0$
