NEET Physics Electric Field MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-conceptual-Medium-Class 12

Which of the following statements about electric fields is correct?

A

The electric field inside a thin spherical shell is zero at all points.

B

The electric field at a point due to a point charge is constant regardless of distance.

C

The electric field produced by a dipole decreases faster than 1/r².

D

A test charge can be any size without affecting the source charge's position.

Correct Answer

Option A

Detailed Explanation

According to the NCERT context, the electric field inside a thin spherical shell of uniform surface charge density is zero at all points. The electric field due to a point charge does depend on distance, and a test charge must be negligibly small to not disturb the source charge.
