NEET Physics Electric Potential MCQ Question
What happens to the electric potential inside a cavity within a conductor when it is shielded from outside electrical influences?
The electric potential is constant throughout the cavity.
The electric potential becomes negative inside the cavity.
The electric potential varies depending on the charges inside.
The electric potential is zero in the cavity.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
The electric potential inside a cavity of a conductor shielded from external influences remains constant, as indicated by the property of electrostatic shielding. The presence of charges inside does not affect the potential outside the conductor.
