A thin walled spherical conducting shell...

A thin walled spherical conducting shells `S` of radius `R` is given charge `Q`,the same amount of charge is also placed at its centre `C`.Which of the following statements are correct.

A

On the outer surface of S, the charge density is `Q//2piR^2`.

B

The electric field is zero at all points inside S.

C

At a point just outside S, the electric field is double the field at a point just inside S in the cavity.

D

At any point inside S (i.e., within its cavity), the electric field is inversely proportional to the square of its distance from C.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A, C, D

a.,c.,d.
Charge density at the outer surface (Fig. SAI.59) is
`(2Q)/(4piR^(2))=(Q)/(2piR^(2))`
`E_("inside")=(Q)/(4piepsilon_(0)R^(2)),E_("outside")=(2Q)/(4piepsilon_(0)R^(2))`
`therefore E_("outside")=2E_("inside")`
