Question
The electric field inside a spherical shell of uniform surface charge density is
- Zero
- Constant, less than zero
- Directly proportional to the distance from the centre
- None of the above
The correct answer is: Zero
All charge resides on the outer surface so that according to Gauss law, electric field inside a shell is zero.
