`sigma` and `rho` are surface and volume charge densities respectively of a charged sphere, so,......

A

`rho=0, sigma=0`

B

`rho=0, sigma ne 0`

C

`rho ne 0, sigma=0`

D

`rho ne 0, sigma ne 0`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
Charge given to the body always resides on its surface, so charge inside the body will be zero and hence volume charge density becomes zero but surface charge density is not zero.
