NEET Physics Electric Field MCQ Question
In the diagram shown above, what is the relationship between the electric field inside and outside a uniformly charged thin spherical shell?
The electric field is zero inside and behaves as if all charge were at the center outside.
The electric field is uniform inside and decreases linearly with distance outside.
The electric field is maximum at the center inside and zero outside.
The electric field is non-zero inside and follows an inverse square law outside.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
According to the NCERT context, the electric field inside a uniformly charged thin spherical shell is zero, while outside, it behaves as if all the charge were concentrated at the center.
