For a spherical shell,which of the following statements is correct?

  • A
    If the potential inside it is zero,then it is necessarily electrically neutral.
  • B
    The electric field in a charged conducting spherical shell can be zero only when the charge is uniformly distributed.
  • C
    The electric potential due to induced charges at a point inside it will always be zero.
  • D
    None of these.

Two metallic spheres of radii $a$ and $b$ are placed far away from each other and are connected by a thin conducting wire. The total charge on them is $Q$. Calculate the potential of each sphere.

'Inside a conductor,the electrostatic field is zero'. Explain.

Two metal spheres have their radii in the ratio of $4:7$. They are put in contact and a charge $8.8 \times 10^{-7} \text{ C}$ is given to the system. Then they are separated so that each can exert no influence on the other. The potential due to the smaller sphere at $60 \text{ m}$ from it in Volt is

$A$ point charge is kept at the centre of a metallic insulated spherical shell. Then:

Consider an initially neutral hollow conducting spherical shell with inner radius $r$ and outer radius $2r$. $A$ point charge $+Q$ is now placed inside the shell at a distance $r/2$ from the centre. The shell is then grounded by connecting the outer surface to the earth. $P$ is an external point at a distance $2r$ from the point charge $+Q$ on the line passing through the centre and the point charge $+Q$ as shown in the figure. The magnitude of the force on a test charge $+q$ placed at $P$ will be
