E and V respectively represent magnitudes of electrostatic field and potential inside a charged metallic shell. We have: |
$E=0, V=0$ $E=0, V≠0$ $E≠0, V=0$ $E≠0, V≠0$ |
$E=0, V≠0$ |
The correct answer is Option (2) → $E=0, V≠0$ For a charged, metallic shell, the electrostatic field is zero due to the symmetry of charge distribution. $∴E=0$ and, The electric potential V inside the shell, however, is constant and non-zero. This is because the shell forms a equipotential surface. $∴V=K≠0$ [K = Constant] |
