Question

The electric field inside a spherical shell of uniform surface charge density is ______.

Options

• zero
• constant different from zero
• proportional to the distance from the curve

• None of the above

Answer 1

The electric field inside a spherical shell of uniform surface charge density is zero.

Explanation:

All charges are concentrated on the shell's outside surface, the electric field inside the shell is zero, according to Gauss' law.
