A

surface charge density on the outer surface depends on `|vecp|`

B

surface charge density on the inner surface of the shell is zero every where

C

electric field outside the shell is the same as that of a point charge at the centre of the shell

D

surface charge density on the inner surface is uniform and equal to `((Q//2)/(4pi a^(2)))`
